</div>My source was 30 years of industry experience and following the vendor<br>
market, Doug. See the Wikipedia article I quoted; RAM based SSDs date to<br>
the late 70s and early-mid 80s; Flash wasn't remotely practical until 1995.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>*Chuckle* Ok, I'll stand publicly corrected, even though I've been in the industry ALMOST as long as you have old man! :) (Working on 20 here myself...not sure how I missed RAM based "SSD" devices, other than none of the Fortune 500's I've worked for in that time have used them).<br>
<br>That said (and not to bring this topic even farther off track but I guess I will anyway), given the prices you're talking about and the sizes ($1400 - 2500 for 4 - 8g models of RAM Based SSDs on a quick Google Search), even the concept of using one of those in a myth based back-end right now would be pretty silly. The cost/benefit analysis for using a RAM based SSD to speed up your myth tv database would be somewhat akin to swatting flies with howitzers...but I acknowledge the existence of the devices.<br>
<br>So, in my defense I'll throw up the "I didn't figure you knew what you were talking about since the entire idea would be utterly impractical in a consumer based device" defense. :)<br><br>Carry on :)<br>
