Hi all,
I am one of the buyers of this $95 4GB RAM disks on eBay. As of now there were more to be had, if you live in the USA or have a friend who does, this might interest you.
I already have and use an Intel SDD for most disk packs. It's lightning fast and drastically reduces the harddisk wear & tear. Besides the "Herc-on-Steroids" feel, it eliminates interference with all other activity on my server. Unfortunately flash SSDs wear out too. Mtron and I learned that the hard way... ouch!
I plan to compress most MVS disk packs and put the shadow files on the "new" 4GB RAM disk. This will free up some space on the flash disk and make it pseudo-"read-only".
Andreas
