Utilize RAM as solid-state drive capacity
Right now we can install 2 terabytes of RAM in a computer. Most SSDs and HDDs come in similar sizes. This makes me think about using RAM as storage instead. Since RAM is known for its low latency and speed, why not use it like a fast boot drive or game drive?
It’s completely doable and has happened before. The issue is that after losing power or restarting the computer, all data stored in RAM disappears since it doesn’t retain information permanently.
Ramdisks have existed for quite some time. Dramas are volatile, meaning data can be lost during power interruptions, which isn't ideal. The machines holding 2 terabytes of RAM aren't typical desktops and come at a price most people can't afford.
You can also use a high-speed SSD as a backup that only initializes essential files during startup, or even loads all data at once for quicker access.
For minimal delay in storage, choose a honey badger from liqid.
