So,

the Samsung 970 evo has a read of 3500MB/s and 3000MHz ram has a raw read speed of 40,000MB/s, so if one would set up a raid 0 of about 12 pcie ssd's would you get the ultimate in virtual memory performance to the point were it could smoothly run all games with only 4gb of actual RAM in the system, i know some performance would be lost but this is theoretical and probably wouldn't be practical until these ssd's got significantly smaller. maybe if virual memory was set to half the total capacity one wouldn't need ram at all(if the motherboard would allow this which is unlikely).

I think it would be great if Linus or a writer could make a video on this, like if you agree.

Linus did the 4x samsung 960 EVO RAID 0 and reached 10GB/s.

 

 

Thing is, PCIe SSDs don't have the latency that RAM has, unless we are talking about optane memory here.

That is a good point, but can optane do raid anyway or is it too special?

do you mean PCIe or the M2?
