 A "remote, indirect memory-access disk (RIndMA Disk)" uses a secondary computer with a fast network or (direct) Infiniband connection to act like a RAM-based SSD, but the new, faster, flash-memory based, SSDs already available in 2009 are making this option not as cost effective.While the price of DRAM continues to fall, the price of Flash memory falls even faster.The "Flash becomes cheaper than DRAM" crossover point occurred approximately 2004.
