I think using DRAM as the base is way better than flash. Just use the flash or a regular disk as the backup with a battery to power the backup operation. I have in my storage room a DRAM based SCSI storage device made by Imperial Technology. It was totally the bees knees in 2000 when I bought it (with 1GB of RAM) for almost $30k. Upgraded a year later to 5Gb for another $15k. It has 4 low-profile/offset SCSI-2 connectors and full battery backed up UPS internal to it, and writes itself to a traditional disk drive on power outage, and continually ran self diagnostics to ensure that everything was just right. Free. But it doesn't power up. Probably needs a cap replaced or something simple like that. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
