Well I guess I should rephrase... It is seen as another block device to the OS, Windows, Linux or what have you.
So, in Windows it would be a drive letter. In Linux it would be a block device that you could partition and format. I have not personally used it, but, there are folks out there using it in the relational database world. The cheaper route to go would be to create a ramdisk in Linux, in the RAM itself... I have not done that in a long time. I have never created a RAMDISK in windows... not since the DOS days anyway at least.
