The RAM here is essentially a cache. You’ll want to transpose a block at a time, something like 150 x 150 blocks, so it all fits.

Each block is not contiguous on disk, so you’ll want to load blocks in the right order to avoid extra seeks.

I suspect, since the poster mentioned having two hard drives, that really they're confusing transposition with inversion. These aren't the same things.
