^ Giving up so easily?
 Software RAID, with what's need to boot on another drive/flash stick. |

Goodbye RAM?
Are we seeing the first baby step towards replacing RAM with the hard drive? DDR400 had read/write of 6,000 and an access time of 50ns... 0.1ms is 100,000ns so certainly not there yet but i imagine for an SSD, the access time doesn't make much of a difference anymore at 0.1ms; not until it is re-purposed as "RAM" or until SATA/PCIe can accommodate such speeds.
Exciting time... we've reached an era of diminishing returns on hardware so the software guys are going to have to step it up hard in the near future. |
