Kenn,
If you have the money, you can also try Hyperdrive 5 which is a RAM
drive device. It comes in an enclosure similar to a hard drive and looks
like a SATA drive. Each device supports up to 32GB (64GB with 8GBM DIMMS)
of ram and can be raided together to form a larger drive. It has battery
backup and impressive specs: 175MB/s read, 145MB/s write. It has no moving
parts so there is nothing to wear out. It can also be backed up to a hard
drive.
