EVE Online uses those. They have some ramsan400's.

I think it has more to do with not reading the article properly.]]>Jul 24th 2008 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/texas-memory-breaks-records-budgets-with-blisteringly-fast-rams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/texas-memory-breaks-records-budgets-with-blisteringly-fast-rams/
But since I'm American, I understand.]]>Jul 24th 2008 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/texas-memory-breaks-records-budgets-with-blisteringly-fast-rams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/texas-memory-breaks-records-budgets-with-blisteringly-fast-rams/
Basically we have an oodbms based piece of software running which often has/had extremely low cpu utilizations but users were waiting nevertheless and bringing in a ramsan didn't change performance one tiny bit, even though all theoretical signs pointed at an io bound bottleneck and not a cpu bound one.

Internal transactions/copies/backups etc were in fact quite fast (at that time about a 2-3x increase to a normal raid-5/512mb cache storage subsystem), but real life performance increase was only about 10%.. top.

So we did not buy a 200k$ piece of hardware for 10% increase.. and I was disappointed after all the sales and marketing promises that we would benefit SO much ;)

However, I saw other usecases where the exact same device increased transactions throughput and decreased latency/waiting times by a huge margin... so for some businesses these price ranges are in fact a no-brainer.]]>Jul 23rd 2008 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/texas-memory-breaks-records-budgets-with-blisteringly-fast-rams/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/texas-memory-breaks-records-budgets-with-blisteringly-fast-rams/
