SATA HyperDrive5 RAM Drive

Claims "STR of 175MB/s Read and 145MB/s Write", but SSDs appear to be in the 300MB/s to 500MB/s rate: http://www.storagereview.com/samsung_ssd_840_pro_review

I would have thought write performance would be faster than SSD, though? are SSD rates really that fast? wow...

FWIW, Intel's latest 750 PCIe SSDs are benching over 2.5GB/sec read speeds if you want to be really blown away :-) http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-750-series-ssd,409...

This is ludicrously old, it uses DDR2 and the date in the URL 07042003 is a bit after DDR2 came out. That was phenomenal for the time.

It was probably limited by the SATA interface speed back then.

SATA is the biggest limiting factor on SSDs. PCIE drives are a magnitude faster.
