ACARD RAM Disk 9010 series

Ok, I can confirm that Registered memory does NOT work. I also investigated buying registered memory and removing the register chip, but that won't work either. Looks like we're stick buying either 2GB sticks on the cheap, or 4GB sticks at about $110 or so each . Anyone else know of any place that sells 4GB memory sticks that are unregistered and low density for less than $100 a stick?

I'll see about getting that done for you today wmaciv.

Just for giggles, I tried using one of those SATA to USB converters and benchmarked the box. I get a cool, crisp 30MB/sec. WOOHOO! ROFL. I did this to see what the actual maximum speed for USB2 is because USB2 wasn't designed for transferring data like is commonly used for thumbdrives and memory sticks.

Also, on my box is a sticker that tells you what all the jumper settings are. There is only 3 on the chart(there's 5 jumpers). But 1 of the 3 jumper descriptions is covered with a sticker that says "RESERVED". If you put a jumper in that location, it disables the ECC feature that takes non-ECC memory and makes it ECC. You lose 1/9 of your RAM size for this ECC feature. I think that they chose to not show this feature because of some kind of problem they had requiring the ECC feature to work.
