eXtremespec - SK Hynix, one of the leading designers and manufacturers of RAM, has officially announced the completion of the project to build a 128-gigabyte DDR4 module for server systems.
Amazon has opened pre-orders for the OCPC X3TREME Aura RGB 16GB DDR4 RAM Memory Kits.
Jason Gress from CCG writes "Overall, I am very pleased with the SK Hynix Gold S31 1TB SATA SSD drive. I have learned the hard way that DRAM-less SSDs can often have a large cost in performance (I tested one this summer that was slower than a HDD in some workloads) and it's really hard to know before purchase how a drive will perform. SK Hynix's new entry into the consumer SSD drive space is excellent; they have a high-performing, reliable drive, with a fantastic warranty. It's also much cheaper than other high-end competitors, though it is appropriately more expensive than the lower-end DRAM-less SSDs that are out there. Considering how much it slaughtered my older X300, which does have DRAM by the way, I can safely say that this drive can likely compete with the faster SATA III SSDs out there. For the very reasonable price of $119 for 1TB of space, it's an easy recommendation"
This SSD has DRAM and is very fast. I was comparing it against others, some of which did not.
Kingston has announced its 32GB, 16GB and 8GB Server Premier DDR4-2933 Registered DIMMs have received validation on the Intel Purley Platform, featuring the Intel Xeon Scalable processor family (formerly known as “Cascade Lake-SP”).
Can we expect some cheaper hosting courtesy of this increase in RAM?
