Stating the obvious first; memory is faster, but volatile. Loose the power, you loose the data. What kind of data? Are you talking about a typical database, flat files, a folder-hierarchy filled with Word-documents and indexed with Google Desktop Search, or something completely different? In all cases, I'd say that you don't want to move your entire database to a RAM-disk. If you "must", then move only the most frequent read data there - providing an extra cache-layer should prove to be easier than having a buffer in memory that needs be synchronized to disk. Now that's all been said, have a look at Velocity[^] :)
