300 GB of ram, is going to cost ~ $3000/month. Reading 300GB from an SSD is going to be way too slow. It will take minutes per search. In a simple test on linode, the SSD seems to read at about 1GB/s. Their pricing seems like a bargain to me.

300GB of ram might cost $3000/month on AWS. There are a few dedicated server providers that offer 384GB or even 512GB configs for less than 1000$/month.
