Posted November 11, 2014 *long whistle* This would bee pretty "useful" on older x79 systems. I mean, for most cases, you don't really need 64GB of RAM. You could populate, say, a single channel with 16GB, or even two channels with 32GB of RAM, and then populate the rest with these. That either 1.6TB/32GB or 2.4TB/16GB Storage/RAM ratios!

Posted November 11, 2014 it go's into your server because it has more dim slots. your ddr3 duel channel mother board generally wont have the free slots unless you want to run single channel ewwww no don't od that My 8 slot X99 would like a word with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 11, 2014 I have no proof, but I'm 99.99% sure you aren't going to be able to just throw this in a random board that has DDR3 slots. It will likely be dedicated slots with a controller on the motherboard, but again I have no proof just being realistic here. I know that would be really good for servers (but they already have arrays of SSD's as RAM's), but isn't the m.2 jus better for us, "normal consumers"? This can achieve speeds ~8gigabits, while m.2 can go up to 10gigabits. And don't tell me you would notice 10 microseconds. The 8 gbps is a bottleneck of the product, not the RAM slot, so in the future you will likely much faster versions of this if it takes off, when high capacity NAND catches up. 10 ms adds up when its going back and forth hundreds of tens of times per day, not where a normal user would notice it, but I'm sure there are specialized applications out there where people are drooling over the reduction in latency. So basically RAMdisk RAM disks are volatile, meaning they will loose all of the data on them when you power the system off, this does not. Its also nowhere near as fast as a RAM disk. Typical RAM disks are 8 gigaBYTES per second and beyond, this is 8 gigaBITS, so around 1/8th the speed but it varies depending on your RAM.

Posted November 11, 2014 So this counts as an SSD and can be used to store stuff like any other drive but is in a ram slot or it counts as a stick of ram that does ram stuff? It's a ram stick with a SSD on it. It still has ram memory, but only 2GB ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 11, 2014 OK, what the hell. can this be used as RAM? or does it just take up a DIM-slot and gives you 400 GB of storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 11, 2014 Remember, this is SanDisk, the company that will push any broken unripe technology to market just so it can 'beat' Kingston and Crucial to being 'first', while the two latter actually do their job and refine shit before selling it. Buying first generation SanDisk stuff is pretty much the dumbest thing you do. Every 1st gen of memory card, especially compact flash SanDisk "readycache" SSD (google it, a true trainwreck of titanious proportions) This SSD RAM DIMM will no doubt also be shit, probably either lasting like 3 months in a system, or incompatible with 90% of hardware, or just lying about performance etc. countless possibilities.

Posted November 11, 2014 I don't understand why someone would want to put an SSD into the RAM slot. What else will we see? DDR4 GPUs?It is cool, but not something i would call innovative.

Posted November 11, 2014 Before this can actually be used new processors with a second memory controller will have to come out. Otherwise the system can't tell the difference between ram and storage. And that's bad, m'kay. Either that or you'd configure it as a 'ramdisk' in BIOS, but it'd be nonvolatile I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given. I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now. My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 11, 2014 Many people here don't seem to know that in the early days of PCs, the processor bus was pretty much universal interface for connecting not only the RAM, but a wide range of peripheral devices and controllers. Having a separate (local) high-speed peripheral bus for long time was a kind of luxurious feature. In fact, every device that has to "talk" to the CPU has a reserved address space in the system's memory, where the device's driver communicates (commands, data, interrupts, etc.) to the rest of the system, no matter now it is attached. It all goes through the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
