the qikdrive uses 8 standard pc100 ecc sdram to provide up to 8gb of solid state storage space. it uses an external power supply to help keep state. $5,000 is a lot to pay for it, but the super performance probably makes it worth it for any memory intensive usage (web/db, media editing, etc). has drivers for linux and free bsd too.
