How much faster is the memory usually than the disk?
问题 IDE,SCSI,SSD,SATA or all of those. 回答1: I'm surprised: Figure 3 in the middle of this article, The Pathologies of Big Data, says that memory is only about 6 times faster when you're doing sequential access (350 Mvalues/sec for memory compared with 58 Mvalues/sec for disk); but it's about 100,000 times faster when you're doing random access. 回答2: Random Access Memory (RAM) takes nanoseconds to read from or write to, while hard drive (IDE, SCSI, SATA that I'm aware of) access speed is measured
