> I wonder: if RAM prices head towards $0.05/GB (around $50 for the cheapest 1TB) that we’re currently seeing for SSDs, would that allow the dream of a legitimately useful RAM disk to become a reality?
Become? I strongly doubt it.
You can make a great RAM disk today, but if you don't find that useful enough then the future isn't going to make it much better.
In that future, you don't need a RAM disk for your 800GB compile folders to live in cache or for your zero-loading-screen games to stream data at 50GB/s off your PCIe 7.0 drive.
