64 bit machines (given the right controllers etc) should be able to map the whole 375GB / 750GB directly into the memory space. You'd almost certainly need a kernel driver, similar to the way a graphics card is mapped into the address space but isn't treated as regular RAM. With the right driver you could just mmap() the address space.
