Hi, I have question about expanding ram.
Presently, I am working with some very large databases( in the 500
gig range) and I am searching for an inexpensive way to have the
entire databases in memory. Given that my knowledge of hardware is not
that in depth I was wondering if someone knew the best way to expand
memory to avoid using hardrives which are much slower than ram.
I am considering:
USB
FIREWIRE
BLUETOOTH
and any other possibilities.
Since cheap mother boards can only hold up to a few gigs unless
you can afford a super computer, I was thinking about having my
databases put on USB flash drives attached through a USB hub * 2
(because must computers have 2 usb ports) adding for example 16gig usb
drive * 2 hubs * 4 ports per hub is 128 gigs. I don't think there is
any common mother board out there that can hold that kind of ram.
Linux Ubuntu Fiesty is the operating system.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Carl
