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

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.
