Tremble at my 2000+ Mbps Transfer rate

Tribulate and fear the speed from my ultra fast, low capacity drive of mystery!

1GB????? I'm assuming somebody set up a virtual drive using ram???

i guess the ms thingie is not accurate enough for this application? :)

My guess is also towards RAM disk, especially given that extremely high CPU usage number. (although HDTune always shows CPU usage as -1%, negative, for me )
Unless PCI-E 2.0 x32 or PCI-E I/O controllers exist??? I wouldn't be surprised though, after poking FPGAs for a few months and hearing about some outrageous things various research groups are doing to squeeze even more gigabits / second out of everything that there's a reason to make faster.

ramdisk as well... nothing I can fit on this though...

Here is a thought, considering the relatively cheap cost of ram these days could you not make say a 8GB ramdisk and through something like a virtual xp on it or something? Or even a game of some sort or hell even photoshop or other similar products?

i know tehre were ddr2 ones,but ddr3?

but then again....how much ram are you gonna put and the cost vs buying an ssd?

Problem with ram disks is most of them is software and when you restart the system poof contents are gone. RAM drives are a good idea but you need one that can store the data without losing it.

Most come with a battery backup to prevent that.

Only the hardware ram disks. The software ones just use a portion of your system ram and make it a mountable drive.
