DDR4 on PCIe expansion card?

biffzinker · Jan 14, 2021

I've tried searching for a PCIe expansion card with DDR4 DIMM slots that you could repurpose as a fast storage pool. Does anyone know if such a card exists?

Similar to this from the past.

I'm trying to repurpose unused DDR4 as fast storage or cache.

Unfortunately I don't think there's a market for such a product. Launching a product to market requires a certain investment, and if the potential buyers of such a product doesn't cover that investment nobody's going to make that product.

No such product exists. Hence why i suggested using a ram disk (which a mod so nicely marked as a LQ post)
