A couple things got me wondering if more memory for faster storage access. My system-to-be lacks memory, and although I have some I can use for short-term, I'm shopping for some. Someone recommended me for storage MX500 and after (s)he learned that I ended up with SN550, that person mentioned what I got was DRAMless. I don't know if it's the case but that got me thinking: What if I got more memory than I though I'd spend on it, and somehow turn that extra in storage caching. I'm not sure of how I'd do this but I think RAMDisk could do that but I'd need to make snapshots in case my system crashed.
I'm especially interesting in speeding up storage to play Fallout 4, and it's a 30 GB game. If indeed the game need to be install through a system (as opposed to directly on Windows) and I need to make snapshots, I'm wondering how much it will use my storage, as I think SSDs have a limited # of access (HDDs too I think). And although using such system I'd save on the # of reads, I'd increase the # of writes dramatically, unless there's a way to do incremental snapshots (I had an archive software that made daily incrementals and a weekly complete, that would be nice).
Is it true that my storage is lacking (DRAM or whatever) ? Is it true that there are systems to increase storage speed using memory? If so are there some that are incremental? If not, what kind of toll would the 30+ GB snapshots take?
Thank you kindly
