I was under the impression ssd and ram were physically similar in construction. Im going to assume i am incorrect from your response... :)

same as a Hyundai and a Ferrari are both cars...one is just a bit faster than the other.

Stats a couple years old but shoud be similar:

Read 1 MB sequentially from RAM     250,000   ns   
Read 1 MB sequentially from SSD     1,000,000   ns   
Read 1 MB sequentially from disk    20,000,000   ns 

 

so 4x slower. 

Ah thanks for that. Makes it a little clearer. Sometimes I oversimplify things in my mind (a lot if i'm completely honest).

And yep. I was thinking that they may have cut the RAM out completely. So in a way we are thinking the same thing, only you call it RAM i'm calling HD. 

In my mind it would simplify the mb design by removing the entire RAM connectors and the circuits to each... I would have expected this would also improve the access to the HD as it wouldn't sit behind the RAM for access. 

@emts, you don't hang around clifton hill / alphington at all do you?

I saw a red 66 just the other night while i was out for a walk.

The bloke came out and jumped into it as well so I got a look into the car.  It looked mint. 

so the other big diffrence is if RAM looses power it is wiped, SSD/HDD natrually do not.

 

So to get the speeds of RAM for storage you would need power at all times eg a battery back-up for the drive.

battery goes flat all storage is lost.

Am i the only one who thinks the Gti and R look soooo boring? It just seems like something an accountant who likes cars would buy.

Guy i bought my S14 off had just bought a Gti  and was an accountant.  so I'm going to go with yes.

these and the new Audi/MB with the fake back fire are my current list of annoying cars.

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
