I would go for it if it wasn't for the 16 hour limit. I would need at least a weekend's worth of battery back up for it. I already have the SATA controller and I have 2 x 1gb DIMMS that I could transfer over and then upgrade memory or possibly even mobo+memory.
But the thing that is likely to be the deciding factor is the price. I would have to pay about £300 pounds for the card and the other two DIMMS.
The raid0 idea is really cool though. Who would have thought it...RAID0 DIMM/SATA Drives?


As long as you leave your machine plugged into a wall socket, the PCI will keep it alive.

But I have similar problems with the device...
1. Too expensive.
2. Too small (a 4gig drive?).
3. Uses a PCI slot.

If it didn´t use PCI then it would be interesting as a very fast disk for portable computers.


My thoughts exactly.
