Re:RAM Drives. (Score 1)

Er, no. IPI was a slightly more intelligent competitor to SCSI that was seen lurking around in the late 1980s particulary on Sun gear.

5-10Mb/sec, nothing more than the SCSI of the day, and similar numbers of peripherals, even controllers. I don't believe they ever made IPI drives in less than a 5.25" full-height form factor.

Solid state drives have been around for a while. for using as database index drives. Remember it isn't the bandwidth which would kill a conventional disk, it's the seek times.
