4x Gigabyte I-RAM using RAID 0 (Stripe 4k)

Here's a speed demo (Warcraft loading time) using 4x I-Ram cards in Stripe (Raid 0) mode.
Speed is about 460MByte/s.

omg FRENCH WARCRAFT 3!!! Kill it with FIRE!!!!

Ok listen up morons... Google I-ram and look at the pictures, what do you see? You see a blue card with four (4) memory slots (yes, just like the ones that is in your box-thingy). The solution is: Use the superfast-RAM as a storage-device! Instead of your 2 GB's of RAM you suddenly have 2 GB's of superfast storage! Congratulations, you now know what I-RAM is! :)

eeeee fk too fast

@Alauz you moron. That is a ramdisk. It uses software to do that. With I ram you actually plug ram into it.

Doesn't Apple OS already have a built in option to preload portions of the HDD into a "RAM Drive" for those Power Mac systems with more than 16 GB of memory like... 2 years ago?

@schmidtbag Yup, one awesome thing UNIX based systems can do. :)

@sergo40 yes but ramdisk and ramdisk plus are expensive and a program you have to install, and it appears to me that its more limiting. most linux distributions can do it for free as a built-in feature and has no restrictions. you can mount the drive in any folder you want, put whatever permissions you want on it, make it any size you want, make it dynamically expand, has no minimum requirements, and just about every feature superspeed's stuff does, except for the gui

[sergo40]

@schmidtbag Same goes for eny other modern OS, for example i use SuperSpeed RamDisk Plus on Win7, getting speeds from 4980-5040mb/s.

[schmidtbag]

you do realize that if you were to boot up 64 bit linux, you could use system memory, and therefore have more bandwidth, more speed, more memory, and not pay nearly as much? I created a simple script that converts ram into a temporary hard drive. the only downside is if theres a power failure, you lost everything if you don't have UPS. there are ways to make it automatically back up everything to a hdd, but i haven't developed that yet

you can play warcraft 3 on full specs!
