hmmm, maybe the marketplace is making the new technology remain in the papers, for now (hopefully)…but as I read somewhere, “No one is above the market”…let’s see what happens
ReplyAbsolutely right Gopal! The market is driven by consumers in most ways. The way manufacturers control it is by not making the knowledge readily available to consumers on new technology. Of course they cant report on all new technologies, but one that could impact computing as much as a RAM drive should atleast be made known somewhat.
Thank you for the comment!
ReplyThere is a cartel. Gigabyte got bought out. IF there are no ram drives in the market place. Then there is a cartel. Why would RAM hard drives suddenly disappear? Its a cartel. SSD have a lifespan and will fail. They only have a certain number of write cylces before they die in the arse.
ReplyAs you mentioned, RAM requires power to retain the data written to memory. As such, a RAM drive would need to have a constant source of power to retain data when the computer is shut down or transported.
With the current cost of RAM, you’d end up paying more money for a RAM drive than you would for a comparable sized SSD.
I think your idealization of RAM drives is not based in reality. The fastest computers on the planet read/write to storage devices that are not RAM drives, and they are not being constrained.
