Released sometime before June 25, 2005[1], the i-RAM is a solid-state drive produced by Gigabyte which has four DIMM slots to allow PC DDR RAM to be used to store data.
It connects via a SATA port and is seen by the PC as a hard drive, and may therefore be booted from directly. However, the i-RAM is bottlenecked by the SATA interface, limiting bandwidth to a maximum sustained throughput of 150MB/sec.

This speed limitation is offset by near instant access, with latency results of 0.1ms recorded.
DRAM however is volatile, so any loss of power will cause loss of data. The i-RAM is powered by plugging into a PCI slot, which powers it while the PC is plugged in (using standby power if the PC is off). It also has a 16 hour battery, which operates when the PC is unplugged or there is a power outage.
The i-RAM supports Unbuffered / Non-ECC DDR 200/266/333/400MHz RAM modules of different capacities (up to 1 GiB), speeds and brand for a maximum capacity of 4 GiB. Because of this, the i-RAM is very expensive per GB, but offers a silent storage method with higher responsiveness and performance than a traditional hard drive.wever is volatile, so any loss of power will cause loss of data.

Long story short, it is a hard drive made from RAM that is nice and fast.

Is IRAM still alive? I was thinking of trying the re-designed DDR2 version at one time and then it disappeared from their web site.
I figured they killed the product.

I believe it is called GC-RAMDISK now, not sure what the deal with the DDR2 version is. Could have been scrapped because of solid state drives.
