The Flash Memory (1-2TB usable capacity) is arrayed in nine RAID-5 protected hot swappable modules.

Do you know anyone who has tested one?

Hi Yes, I just installed a RamSan-500. Very simple setup took me under 20 minutes to rack and configure.

We are doing a proof of concept and so far so good. It is a little expensive but the technology is cutting edge.

Performance is great and it is very fast.
