In a few years when it's like $90 for 1TB then maybeThe official MSRP for the 80GB ioDrive is 2995.00 and this goes all the way up to 14,400 US Dollars for the 320GB model.

I haven't seen 'em. You can get faster RAM disks than this though - but they lack the capacity.CrazeD wrote:

$3000 for 80GB ouch.
I can see this sort of thing being fairly common place in 3-5 years though. It's good to see storage drives actually progressing for a change, it seems like we've been stuck on platter HDDs for an eternity.
That'll do as an eternity for me, it's longer than I've been alive so it countsFreezer7Pro wrote:

I think you might be referring to i-RAM by Gigabyte, rite?CrazeD wrote:

No. I remember seeing one of these several months back (though it could be the same one, I cba to read the whole article) that was on the same idea. Solid state goes into PCI-e. Then there were like 2 other ports on the actual card, so you could either plug another solid state card into that, or some other stuff (but I forgot what the other stuff was). It was pretty neat.loubot wrote:

ioDrive looks pretty cool!

It's interesting it uses PCI. I wonder if anyone will bring out a motherboard that can use this kind of device as RAM (since processors these days have such a large amount of cache anyway). That way booting would be redundant, just flick her on and away you go.

The PCI-e bus has high latency and the RAM bus does not, so that wouldn't really be beneficial.cospengle wrote:

Well, then booting's redundant anyway.Sydney wrote:
