Always getting tired of the slow harddrive, heres the solution Gigabyte i-RAM.

Product Introduction
Through GIGABYTE’s custom intelligent controller, i-RAM acts like a regular SATA hard drive at theoretically 1.5Gb/s data transfer rate. By utilizing conventional DDR memory modules, i-RAM is outfitted with four 184-pin DIMM slots that will accept any DDR DIMM and support up to 4GB unbuffered / non-ECC memory. Most of all, the major issue of data lost after powering down is solved by i-RAM’s backup battery which is charged by your system on the fly. Furthermore, the 4-level LED located in the lower left corner indicates the i-RAM battery capacity. Without mechanical elements of traditional hard disks, i-RAM’s stunning performance coming from the nature of DRAM as storage medium benefits in massive storage access application such as video / audio capture & editing and 3D graphics design applications. i-RAM is the fastest storage device you have ever imagined !
