Probably is the same thing as the theorathical 2TB storge on (micro)SD cards. It will never be archievable the next 5 years i think.

i bet they are using  highly stacked NANDs

DDR3 Ram + Ram disk. Done. It'll get you a good bit of storage that you can do now.

 

You can also back it up to an SSD or HDD before shut down and after boot so it will be there all the time.

But you lose a ram slot.. Yeeaaahh.. I'm good.

This wouldn't be for consumers, they'd be professional environments (or enthusiasts).

 

Basically, people running proper servers (E5 Xeons) or high end workstations (X79), so they would have 8 DIMMs.

 

 

Now my question, is this volatile memory? Because if it is, then this is basically just really high density RAM disk, if it's not then it's basically a never nice looking SSD.

This isn't practical for consumer devices because each time you restart, the ram will clear itself. I'm pretty sure this is still applicable to this, but someone correct me if I am wrong.

If irs a ssd it should t the question is if itll be used as ram or storage really I havnt read anytjing else but this interesting but no consumer would have a use for it either way at this point.

I have a feeling it will be used as ram, since I see no need for servers to have blazing fast hard drives. high capacity memory/ram on the other hand would seem like a big necessity for enterprises, even if it will operate slower than double data rate ram.

You wouldn't sacrifice a single RAM slot for a 12.8TB SSD.

 

Are you crazy?

OMG I WANT

 

Ive always wondered why no one has come up with the brilliant idea to cache your OS on ram

I thunk it but my youth and my choice in major has crippled my idea of making this reality.

you can always use ram disk its really really fast and you can use it as a hard drive, but if you loose power or reboot you will loose all data since its a ram...

but in the software you use for ramdisk there is always a method to back up your data when you shut down your PC

If that where the case why even release this? They would only label it as high storage ram and not as a dedicated ssd. Normal ram uses volatile storage which would be a different chip than what an ssd would use

This is just my guess. I didn't look into it too much.

When we get 16gb ram DIMMS then yes.

There's actually a program that allows you to install anything on your existing ram, you can run an OS if you use virtual computer to install it there. I used to install my games onto ram
