On: Meta reuses old RAM in new servers with custom bridge chip

[mondainx]

It'd be interested to see how one could leverage all the DDR3 ECC that they may have laying about; maybe an overseas shopping site has these boards available? Would DDR3 be as fast or faster than an SSD?

[oh_no → mondainx]

top of the line SSDs now eclipse DDR3 throughput, but DDR3 should retain a large edge in latency of orders of magnitude

absolutely no idea how useful any of that would be and what kind of latency degradation going through whatever adapter would cause
