Hello,
A new PCIe card by ASUS sparked my interest in hardware again but the product page left me with more questions than answers...
http://www.asus.com/Storage/RAIDR_Express_PCIe_SSD/
Q1) What are ramdisk 'junction points', are they exclusive to ASUS? And do I even need this piece of hardware to take advantage of such a ramdisk?
Edit: What kind of software, apart from video-editing and rendering applications could benefit from this? If you can think of any examples, please list them. Thanks!
Q2) ROG HybriDisk - once again, is this exclusive to ASUS or can you 'HybriDisk' any type of PCIe SSD such as a OCZ Revo with a HDD?
Q3) If you pair a PCIe SSD with a HDD from HybriDisk, can this be done with HDDs that are in a raid array? Here is my thought... On the product page it states that ROG HybriDisk supports up to 4GB of storage... So could I raid10 or 0 four 1TB seagate HDDs and HybriDisk them with the ROG PCIe card (or other PCIe card)!? LMAO, if this theoretically works I might just be insane enough to give it a go for xmas! xD
If this is impossible and you think that I'm an idiot, that's ok - but one can dream, right. ^.^
