RAM disks are an old and well-established concept. I'm not clear on what this 'product' adds to them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_drive

being cheap and available is a rather good addition.
I'd definitely want the 256 gib version for my OS, if it was in stock.
Since they are apparently so common, can you point me to a solution that gives me 7 GiB/s transfer rate for around that same price?
I think a tmpfs on Linux on some fast DDR5 RAM may get you close, it may even be faster but I'm not totally sure!
Of course, getting 256GB of DDR5 or even DDR4 RAM is going to cost quite a lot, and most motherboards probably won't have enough slots for this! Also it would probably be much more expensive!
