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..

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:

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:

Because then we can follow the updates and the ones that have answered/subcribed to the thread can stay updated.Quote:

It would seem that the whole of the storage side of the computer industry has been moving a lot slower than the rest. Like there seems to be a new chipset/mobo every month, cpu's every six and so on.
At the very least there should be faster non solid state type drives coming out, for e.g. a 1500rpm/sata2/32mb or 64mb cache, instead they just keep on pumping out larger and larger ones and nothing aimed towards the gamer/power user.
And as stated before, a DDR2/sata2 i-ram at a cheaper price would be nice, especially if one could have the rams running at ddr1066+ with low timings:D
didn't the ddr version easily saturate the sata1 bandwidth. would ddr2 help that much even on sata2? plus ddr had lower latencies than ddr2, but ddr2 is cheaper right now
how bout this cute little thing for a client system ? :D

Yeh that thing was posted a couple of times this week, but it's way beyond our price range.:shrug:Quote:

it's very very CHEAP of 2G ddr2-667 recently... orz
when do you think it will come out in the us?
My Japanese isn't very good, but the date on that article, 2007/06/08, is a bit old...anything more current or vapourware?Quote:

it only has six dimm slots but it supports sata2, ddr2 and from my understanding can support up to 48gb of ram on a single unit
No, it's not: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gigabyte-5-25-...QQcmdZViewItemQuote:

ya, i was talking about the one from acard, for some reason i'm getting the feeling its going to go to some kind of specialty market and cost alot
