Looking for DDRDrive X1(PCI-E RAM-based SSD) drivers

[Radu91]

Hello, I saw an article on pcper about DDRDrive X1 written by “Allyn Malventano - Storage Editor (2009-2018)”, in 2009 “DDRdrive hits the ground running – PCI-E RAM-based SSD”. And I saw that wendell made a video with him 4 years ago “Intel Optane and a Whole lotta IOPS: A Chat with Allyn Malventano”.

I got that device but I don’t have the drivers, I am asking if wendell can contact him and if he is willing and has the CD(mentioned in article) with the drivers and software to share it with me.
Or if anyone has the cd with the drivers. I think I read that it has drivers for linux WinXP, Vista and 7.

I emailed the ddrdrive company 4 months ago but I did not get any response.

Did you see this?

GitHub - gregkh/ddrdrive: Linux driver for ddrdrive hardware

The author of this c file might be able to help you if he’s still working. The name Greg KH sticks out to me (he’s a suse developer).

I contacted him, he could not help me. He recommended me getting a newer device…
Optane or ramdisk may be better but I want to explore and test this device/technology from 2009.
( I have a gigabyte I-RAM, ram sata disk. Being is sata it can work on any sata motherboard)

I suppose that the drivers in that repo don’t work, then? Too bad

a coworker of mine back in the days ran one of those, remember him liking it but saying it was way more work than it was worth to run on a day to day basis.

I picked up a RADIAN RMS-200 on ebay a while ago. It’s only 8Gb. But it’s faster than the cheap optanes. Might be something fun to play with.

I have RADIAN RMS-200 too, I have not tested it it, I am hesitant because of the fan on it. Still want the DDRDrive X1 win drivers and utilities.
