There is also the ability to combine SuperCache or SuperVolume, with an iRam or HyperDrive IV. WinSoft RamDisk is a bit less, $90/GB for 3GB, $100/GB for 2GB, and $115/GB for 1GB.
And using 1GB costs $130 for $130 a GB.Ĭenatek RamDisk is the same cost as SuperSpeed's RamDisk. is $300 for 3GB at ($100 per GB) (assuming 4GB is installed on the board, and 1GB is used for the usual physical RAM uses). HyperOS HyperDrive card is $1300 for a 8GB card at ($160 per GB), and $2,100 for a 16GB at ($130 per GB). Gigabyte's iRam card at $450 for 4GB is $110 per GB of RAM drive. Including the cost of $80 for a 1GB RAM stick, and $140 for a 2GB RAM stick (about the cheapest DDR1 on pricegrabber)) The SuperSpeed apps SuperVolume and SuperCache can retain data after full shut down and no power, since the data is also written to the hard drive. HyperDrive and iRAM can retain data after shut-down, by battery for a few hours (HyperDrive- 2hrs, iRam 5-10hrs), and by an external power plugged to the PSU, or to a wall outlet or UPS. HyperDrive IV has the benefit of holding 8GB or 16GB, whereas the SuperSpeed apps and iRAM can only use 4GB, and SuperSpeed would actually use less since some RAM is needed for the usual on-board operations. especially RamDisk which only uses the board RAM. RamDisk, SuperVolume, and SuperCache have the strengths of not having the bottleneck of a SATA, PATA or PCI-E interface. SuperCache uses the RAM as a cache, the same way as SuperVolume, but for drives/partitions that are larger than the amount of RAM available for the app. and the I/O is also transferred to the hard drive itself. SuperVolume has the RAM mirror the data from a drive or partition, and that is used for I/O. the 'disk' data can be loaded at start-up, and also be saved to an image file at shut-down. RamDisk makes a virtual Disk from the RAM installed on the system board. SuperSpeed's RamDisk $50, SuperVolume $90 and SuperCache II $150 Is supposed to be released soon, using PCI-E x1 slot Which seems comparatively more expensive, for it's capacity and it's PCI. as fast as 4 RAID0 drives)Īnd Cenatek Rocket Drive (2GB card, upgradable to 4GB $1,600) (link gives data on the speed difference.
PATA or SATA interface, 8-16GB storage, battery for 2hours of non-powered data retention, and external cord to PSU for data retention as long as the PSU is plugged in (even when in shut-down mode)Īlso similar is Gigabytes iRam (empty 4GB card $120) HyperOS HyperDrive IV (empty 8GB card $700, empty 16GB card $1,050) General Idea of what is possible with these. Also they are much faster than hard drive storage. RAM storage is totally silent, since the RAM sticks act as storage and they have no moving parts. which is also much faster.Ĭollection and main features of availableĪnd application RAMDisk, RAM cache, and RAM drive volumes (mirrors). Here's some info I collected and organized on totally-silent storage.
