Thanks guys, a lot of good questions here!! Though I might not be able to answer them all, I will definitely come back with answers.

Consider the RAM Disk as a hard drive, OS sees it as a hard drive; you have to allocate it, format it, use it, love it... etc.

It is bootable.

I have to get back to you on power consumption.
My list of "getting back to..." is getting bigger. This is exciting.

For RAM, 20K Random is also too low. (depends on buffer size, of course, but I presume we're talking 4K/512b, not 16K for random )
I think benchmark and screenshots should explain a lot.

About 6G SATA, let’s just say we’re aware of it. Thanks for bringing it up
