I never really considered going this route, but I thought it was a neat little gizmo..

Very neat. And not exactly a new idea.
But it's sadly bottlenecked by SATA. Especially SATA2. A couple of those in RAID off of SATA 6Gbps ports would be awesome though.
I had a Mac SE/30 with 32 MBs of RAM and a 40MB HD. Since you could do a "warm" reboot that preserved RAMDisk contents, I would boot it up, create a 20MB RAMDisk, copy over a system and the apps I wanted to run, select the RAMDisk as startup, and reboot.
Boot time (this was in the early 1990s, now, so the "System" used like 700k of RAM) went from 11 seconds to 3. Zoom.
Too bad there isn't an easy way to do that anymore.
