Lots and lots of experience with ZeusRAMs. Nice devices, and the SAS
capability makes them one of the few good choices for a shared storage cluster.
DDRdrive's are interesting and blazingly fast, but suffer from their
form-factor and lack of clustering capability. The lack of onboard power
protection makes them a poor choice if you cannot meet their requirement for an
external reliable power source. (They have an external wall wart with a small
power cable going to them. Not very enterprisey, but still damned fast.
