    NEWS: Gigabyte Releases "Blisteringly Fast" Storage Device

    Gigabyte Technology this week officially revealed its i-RAM device which behaves as typical Serial ATA hard disk drive, but uses DDR memory modules to store data. The i-RAM can enhance performance of tasks bound to performance of storage sub-system, but cannot offer really huge amount of storage space.

    Gigabyte i-RAM is a device that is plugged into a PCI slot and acts is seen to operating system like a typical Serial ATA hard disk drive as it has a special embedded controller. The device is equipped with four DIMM slots for DDR memory and can support up to PC3200 memory modules, however, even the most basic PC1600 modules are likely to offer similar performance.

    It was a solid state PCI hard drive card from an Aussie company, hugely expensive but server spec with selected ECC RAM, battery backup etc. The company doesn't seem to have survived the rise of cheap RAID, SATA etc.
