ddr ram v.s. flash memory

[darketernal]

which is faster a internal flash ssd drive or a comparable ram drive?

 

[Ayah]

RAM will trumph flash anyway. Since RAM can hit theoretical speeds of 10000MB/s fairly easily. But efficiency and interface have lots to be desired.

thanks, i was having an argument with one of my friends a.bout which was faster

 

[ixelion]

the real question is which is faster IDE interface or or the PCI bus (or PCI-E if it exists?)

technically RAM is faster. but it requires a constant trickle of electricity to keep data. flash in non-volatile. it's comparing apples to oranges as it is a completely different technology.
