I suppose the main usage will be a RAMDISK mounted partition which will not lose its data on Server reboot, power loss or when program is not running.

I don't think this SSD can be accessed through regular SCSI, IDE, AHCI controllers. http://www.sandisk.com.br/enterprise/ulltradimm-ssd/



Yes it would be very cool to have the entire operating system in SSD. Literally flick the computer on and it's running ;)

Or flick rapidly between Linux and Windows. That makes me think it might be wise to have a manager to do this. E.g. leave the disks accessible between three+ operating systems.

Isn't that what you already get with suspension to memory (S3)? At least on my Debian laptop, it's ready before the lid is fully up.


Right, except:

- S3 uses battery power (albeit not much)

- NVM provides protection from power faults in datacenters
