~30bux for cheapest 2GB stick. Need at least 32GB of space to be useful at all. Two 8slot devices = under 1k. 32GB of ram in 2GB sticks = ~500. $1500 for 32GB... A little on the expensive side when looking at $/GB

4GB sticks would be cheaper. If using 4GB sticks it is ~95 bux for one. One device = $500, 32GB of Ram = $750. $1,250 for 32GB. Two times slower then the first config though...

For 64GB of space it would be 2 devices = 1k and 64GB of ram - ~$1500. Overall $2,500. Costs the same as 80GB IODrive. As far as I understood, this setup would mean 4 sata cables? So 80k random iops and 1.2GB/s read/write? Would need a very expensive card to raid two devices properly though...

Looking forward to an ATTO benchmark!
