Gigabyte Solid-State Storage Reviewed

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday January 25, 2006 @03:42AM from the looks-like-hardware-homebrew dept.

EconolineCrush writes "The Tech Report has a review of Gigabyte's i-RAM, a relatively affordable solid-state storage device that uses plain old DDR memory modules and plugs into a standard motherboard PCI slot and Serial ATA port. Performance is generally excellent and occasionally jaw-dropping, but the i-RAM's appeal is ultimately curbed by its slower Serial ATA interface and limited capacity. Still, it's an interesting solution for anyone looking for faster I/O, and since it behaves like a normal hard drive without the need for drivers or software, it should work with just about any operating system."

What is this new Slashdot thing? by Anonymous Coward · 2006-01-25 04:02 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Is anyone else seeing this on the front page as one little bar with the subject, and the number of comments, but no writeup? I've seen this on a couple articles over the past few days, such as the Sweedish no-oil thing, and the AMD story. Is it just me?
