Boot and load times
To test system boot and game level load times, we busted out our trusty stopwatch.

The i-RAM makes its first appearance in our boot time test, and it's roughly as fast as ACard's RAM disk. However, both are lodged in the middle of the pack and much slower than not only Samsung's FlashSSD, but also a few mechanical hard drives.

The RAM disks claw back to the front of the pack in our level load tests. The i-RAM and ANS-9010 share the lead in Doom 3, but they're not quite as quick as the X25-M and FlashSSD in Far Cry.
