			<description><![CDATA[Really? try do this twice and tell me its not pain in the ass, not even count people who cannot do that because they don't have the knowledge P.S. The way forward in my opinion is SDRAM buffering(DDR/DDR2 or DDR3) with main disk an SSD not an HDD]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nope they don't, its different to have a buffer(ram type as I recommanded) and working in a hybrid model with an ssd and different on what you are saying. As a computer tech(my job)I know this kind of ramdrives ..also there is the gigabyte's one, but its quite old now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[They do actually already make such a ddr drive: http://www.ddrdrive.com/ As regards defraging, I don't see that defragging the HDD would require the super volume to also be defragged? Also as all the reads are coming from the super volume you would not need to defrag your HDD. If it were a problem on the rare occasion you needed to defrag the HDD you could always unlink the super volume and rebuild it after the defrag.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So if you have the HDD fragmented you defrag the HDD but also the SSD? hmm doesn't sound very good. Why don't they make an SSD in PCI-E and have dimm socket for DDR2 so you have a DDR2 buffer of up to 16GB, that would be a killer performance with more than 500k IOPS and 4k random read/write of 250+ mb/s!! (if you use a ramdrive in win you can get that performance ..but creating a ramdrive isn't bootable) P.S. I know the battery issue but put a lithium polumer battery and you'll be fine for any power problem..in the end the DDR2 is only a buffer not a main storage thing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Compared to a straight SSD installation some would consider the Super Volume approach would be safer as your OS is still installed on the HDD. Also you could use several small SSD's in raid0 as the Super Volume, this would give blistering fast performance but none of the risk of having your OS installed on a multidisk deathwish Raid0 array. Compared to the Intel smart response and OCZ caching approach the advantage would be one of performance, you would still have to have your OS on a different partition unless your Super Volume was very large and it would be more expensive needing more SSD capacity....but hell that's the price of performance.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I see the best solution as being a combination of the of the Super Volume approach with SSD's instead of system RAM. You would use the SSD as a Super Volume to the OS partition or drive. It would have many advantages over the RAM Super Volume in that it would not be as expensive needing many GB of expensive RAM and a mobo to accommodate it. Also the Super Volume would be persistent not volatile. Delayed write could be more safely used as in the event of system crash the unwritten data would be retained on the ssd and so possibly recovered......continued]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is however a third approach which has been partially done but has not yet been used with ssds to my knowledge. A company called "Superspeed" make ramdisk software for using some of your system ram as a drive......they also make something caller "Super Volume" which is basically using RAM to mirror the entire OS of your system. Basically all reads are then directed from RAM rather than from the HDD. (writes can either be write through to avoid risk at normal hdd speed or delayed write at full RAM speed) Of course the this has major draw backs in that you have to have more RAM than the size of your OS instal and of course being volatile the contents of the Super Volume have to be rebuilt completely on every restart......continued]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Intel's smart response and this product from OCZ are almost there ...but not quite. There are pro and cons for this type of approach as opposed to just having the OS installed on an ssd. On the plus side they enable a performance increase over HDD's, the user does not have to be concerned about having a separate drive or partition for their OS or have to get a very large ssd. Also some may consider a HHD more reliable than an ssd to keep their OS on. On the negative side as these are only caching approaches a proportion of the read operations will still be performed by the underlying HDD and performance will not be as fast as an ssd installed OS.......continued]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why waste your money on this when you can buy a SDD that costs less and has better performance. Also Intel's smart response free as it's built in to the the motherboard chipset and will work with any HDD or SDD. It also wont take up a pci slot or 2.]]></description>
