I've been playing around the Dataram. The only formatting options for the free version are FAT32 and unformatted, so I originally created a 4gig unformatted disk and then formatted it as NTFS myself using Windows. Copied over my data and it worked just fine, except it took a whopping 1:40 to load 90 days of ES tick data. I turned on disk compression for the scid files and the time dropped to 31 seconds. By comparison, loading from the SSD takes just 4 seconds for the same data and even loading off a regular hard drive only took 13 seconds. So then I created a new ramdrive using the default FAT32 and now it takes about 10 second to load the data. I'm not understanding why it would be so much slower and I don't see any way to optimize the performance. I think during normal trading that won't be any problem and it will help save the SSD and it is still faster than a regular hard drive, but it's a little disappointing. Gonna start working on the linux option next.
