The first thing that I thought of when I read the headline after, "hmm, interesting," was, "What?? RAM for storing data?"
I've had problems enough with hard drives crashing and losing data without having to worry about having a power outage and losing everything. A UPS is a good idea for servers, and perhaps in some other special incidences too, but I wouldn't want to be tied down to having one. The electricity to my house is rarely constant, and lights flicker all the time due to lackluster electrical jobs.
For me at least, 2 GB is not nearly enough to store all of my data anyway. If they find a way to assure me that I won't lose my data, and increase the size of the drive, then I may just opt for the enhanced speed. Until then, I'll stick with my current drive.
