ACARD RAM Disk 9010 series

[IanB]

Who the heck is talking about the one port version? It is pure garbage more or less. The fact remains, the proper version is 2x faster than the old IRAM.

NO, it's not. You are missing the point. It's not about the unit, it's the fact that you have to use TWO SATA ports to interface to the bigger unit in RAID0. So equating this to a SINGLE i-RAM that interfaces to a SINGLE SATA port is just ludicrous. It's also twice the cost and takes 2 to 4 times the memory.

Using the bigger unit in two-port mode is effectively having two half-size units similar to an i-RAM each, needing the same interface requirement, so it's only fair to compare this to two i-RAMs similarly RAIDed.
