[p4] has anyone used a RAM-SAN?

Hi, Tom-

Thanks for your detailed response.

We have now run the RAM-SAN for a week-long trial period.  We saw
significant but not breathtaking gains.  Write operations tended to improve
the most.  One of our biggest known problems was with large (10-50,000 file)
submits, and these improved by maybe a factor of two, which was a
disappointment given how much faster memory is than mechanical disks.  But
overall, we liked  it.

Regards,
Dan
