It would be very interesting to see a similar product being introduced using contemporary technology, though. One question is what sort of interface it would communicate over to leverage the higher transfer speed.
- logicallee 11y agoI wonder if they have a patent. The idea is important and good enough to patent, and if they do I would defer to them on it. I wonder why they're not making anything these days? I think it is fine not to have any higher interface to leverage the transfer speed. RAM latency and speeds can obviously saturate disk interaces, but I doubt SSD's come close. So it should be a large jump in performance regardless.

- nitrogen 11y agoI think there have been RAM-based storage devices even older than that, connected to IDE. I have no idea how one would go about finding a reference these days though.
- jotm 11y agoYeah, I'm pretty sure I remember a similar card being announced when DDR was being widely adopted, but I can't find anything (which is pretty interesting in itself on the Internet, I once searched for specs on a dialup modem and could not find a mention of it, like it never existed :-))...
