I don't even have an SSD yet [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I managed to get ramdisk up and running. It's definitely faster than my HDD but not like 10x faster like I was told it would be lol. It's maybe like 15-20% faster to zone? Without timing it just a rough estimate. Kind of a disappointment I expected a lot more. Not sure its worth it cause I'm paranoid about losing power or whatever and losing data.
Yeah not surprising. Most of the zoning process is due to waiting for the server.

SSD drives have a read speed of 500+ MB per second, and EQ itself is barely over 1000 MB. So yeah... the only way an SSD (or RamDrive) really helps is by providing much faster seek times.
