I recently saw a Hard Disk Drive that is really 4GB of RAM with and SATA
1.5Gb/s serial interface. It's basically a hard disk drive that uses RAM.
It also has a battery backup, so if you loose power, you don't loose your
data.
Has anyone tried using this, and if so was there a noticeable performance
increase?
you are talking about the gigabyte i-ram. in the database world, you
can achieve same thing (actually better) by sticking those ram sticks
directly on the motherboard assuming you are in a 64 bit environment
and the motherboard is decent.
the main advantage of the iram that i see is faster boot times (big
woop). call me when they have a version that does 256gb :-)
