I know ram drives and SSDs have been around for a while. They seem to be on the edge of mainstreem. If the performance per dollar gets equivalent to HDs, i would think it would be a better choice. Several companies are making these now; samsung and toshiba are 2. With manufacturers like them marketing and mass manufacturing SSDs, the price could come down rather quickly.
would you use one for a gaming machine? would it be a huge benefit? Would this reduce the requirements for RAM/virtual memory/paging files?
Obviously, i don't know much about SSDs, but this seems very cool. No moving parts are always better. On first glance, i would think it would be a better investment than HDs if priced the same.
