Andrei,
Do you find the term ramdisk appropriate to describe NVMe SSDs?
It just seems wrong to me.
For instance, the idea of disconnecting a ramdisk from one computer and moving it to another and having the data still be readable doesn't sound like a ramdisk feature, but it works nvme ssd cards.
"ramdisk" doesn't right to me - years ago, we called it a solid-state disk.
Ramdisk is what it has always been, i.e. an emulated disk backed by main memory.
That's right. We can not use the term RAM DISK to name those new "disks" because the term currently means an emulated disk in internal RAM memory. The correct term is "solid state disk". They also are not ram disks because they do not use RAM chips. Or do they? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
