Working on a new USB device. basically instead of a usb memory card reader/writer, it’s a usb RAM reader/writer. Why on earth would you want this? Well, basically for performance through expanding your system’s available memory either by virtual memory or Vista/Windows7’s readyboost.
This is specifically marketed towards VMWare users who require ALOT of ram. Rather than incurring high disk IO in the guest operating system, some random writes can be offset to RAM thus resulting in a faster responding Virtual Machine while minimizing disk I/O.
Exchange Server is one such example. There’s a great amount of disk I/O and on top of that, Exchange is a notorious memory hog.
Alternatively, one may use existing usb flash drives. however the lifespan on writes on flash ram is alot shorter forcing one to replace flash sticks as often as one would replace a flashlight battery.
If this interests you. I am taking orders now. Please contact me directly.
