Make a super-fast SATA drive using DDR RAM modules - significantly faster than a spinning disk! |
Up to 4Gb maximum, using 1Gb sticks of PC3200 DDR RAM (not included) |
Fits into PCI slot for power, connects as a SATA-150 drive to your PC, no drivers needed |
Battery-backed for 10-16 hours, in case stand-by power to motherboard is lost (eg PC gets unplugged from wall) |
Comes with backup software to image the disk |
You can get a Windows XP install down to 2Gb with nLite |
You will lose the use of the PCI slot next to the side the RAM is mounted on |
Removing power to PC for longer than the battery lasts will result in loss of data! |
Tested with WindowsXP / latest Debian - not working yet with RH Fedora or BSD |
Whilst Vista can recognise this as a drive, Vista install requires around 10-12Gb, and this is just not big enough |
