Someone just noticed that you plug your ram into a BUS, one that's usually
single-use but is actually more generic. As Thomas noted it's a block
device, the advantage is really in the latency (at least as it's sold).
Think very *very* write latency sensitive datastores (high frequency
trading anyone?). I've yet to even get a sales pitch from our reps on
these, even after we asked a bit so they must be crazy expensive. Also
think the max size was like 200gb. Sticking with the PCIe models for now!
