Yea, its an Ebay link, but looks legit to me.
No DDR2, probs not S-ATA2, but its more convenient to use now.
Onwards and upwards..

if this was DDR2+SATA2 and priced around $50 i'd actually buy and use one.
insteed it's DDR1 and SATA @ $150...
no wonder they don't sell.
what happened to something like DDR2 + PCI or PCIe? Imagine the bandwidth.. would be nuts.
this was posted a while back
still not good enough
4 gig. :shrug:
I-ram was always niche at best.
There's supposed to be a MKII DDR2 version at some point.
im sure its not genuine... why would gigabyte sell this thing now, years after the initial iram was launched?
is it that hard ?
just give US DDR2 support and Sata2 support!
I know its been discussed before, but this is it now available for purchase.
Iv not seen those pics of the new unit before, and the sellers feedback is massive- too high to be a con IMHO... if they had 0 feedback, yea, id be suspicious!
The I-RAM is still one of the best performing RAMDisks out, especially given the price. Performs much better than the 1st gen SSD out now, although I admit the I-RAM aint perfect.
to gomeler: PCI/PCI-E interfaces would be very inconvenient and you know it. If we use SLI/CF...how many spare slots do we normally get? 1 x PCI-E x4 and 1 PCI?
A PCI slot wouldnt be enough anyway
lots of boards have 3 PCIe slots, I'd be willing to sacrifice physic for access times considering how this would be primarily used for benching.
someone beat gigabyte to it:

mentioned at computex, suprised no other sites saw this...
Nox
WOW! This is amazing...Big capacity, el-cheap non-ECC DDR2 ram...
Whats the transfer rate and mean? SATA? ATA?
They initially claimed they were going to sell them for ~$60, which was/is reasonable enough for their meager offering of just four dimm slots and sata-150, then when they released it, they charged way, way more than it's worth. I don't how successful they've been with their high price but I do know there's no way I'd give them that much money for such little in return. The last I heard of their next revision was a worthless change of stuffing it in a drive bay with no change in useful specs.
sas it has both sas and sata so I'd assume 3gbsQuote:

Auto backup from CF on the small version and 2.5" drive on the bigbro. Very nice.Quote:

Edit--
A report on the Computex showing of the ANS-9010
http://www.orioa.com/en/ans-9010/
Babelfished but its not hard to follow.
No price and the reported IOMeter was too high to believe. God I hope its cheap and available in the US. Snow ball chance in H E double hockey sticks, right?
Well, I don't think it's available yet so they haven't quite beaten Gigabyte *yet*.Quote:

Anyone notice that the Acard RAMDisk says 184-pin DDRII? I thought DDR2 was 240 pin?
*BUMP* Any update on the i-ram, or Acard's RAM drive (which is much cooler BTW)?
The Acard device sounds promising, hopefully it won't be late out and overpriced
why u bump old dead threads? just make a new one and not in the news section
Where is the sata2 version with ddr2.
Thanks
^^^ from what i've been told you should not have your hopes up one little bit ;)Quote:
