The "crock" part was for "part of the install accessed via the web clients".

Subject: RE: RAMDisk Prevalence?

I use a RAM Disk for SQL TempDB on an ETL server.   It works just fine (the 
server has 256GB of RAM), and it is fully supported, but in the upcoming 
re-architecture of the system I will be eliminating the RAM Disk and replacing 
it with SSD storage now that enterprise SSD storage is much more reasonable in 
cost than 2 years ago.

I would not place anything permanent in RAMDisk, but I'm reasonably comfortable 
hosting TempDB on it.

Regards,
Jim

What a crock.

If you have money to spare, put your temp files and pagefiles on SSD.

Subject: RAMDisk Prevalence?

Our CRM reseller suggested I use a 1GB RamDisk for the part of the install that 
is accessed via the web clients.

Haven't heard of the notion of using RAMdisks in AGES.  Are people still using 
them?  Are there still benefits?  Is it supported by MS?

I'm running the VM on Server 2008 R2 on a powerful ESX box with local 15K RPM 
Raid 10 storage. Will I really see a speed boost?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Sam
