RAM disks have always fascinated me. In a different timeline every PC has a 100gb of RAM and 50TB HDDs are the norm.

RAM disks have always fascinated me. In a different timeline every PC has a 100gb of RAM and 50TB HDDs are the norm.
Having 128 GB in my desktop, I can never, ever go back. It truly unlocks a whole different computing experience. I've only had one OOM in the last 5 years and it was in my own code where I had a bad memory leak. It's the only way to live
Back when HDDs were all there was ramdisks were interesting, but SSDs pretty much killed most of that as they have massively increased IOPS over disks.
Hard drives that huge scare me as it would take days to backup all the data off them.
In my fantasy RAM was the predominate technology over flash.
