With hard drives, you can put them in a RAID 0 configuration to split data between drives to increase read and write speed. Is there an equivalent of this for RAM? If I have 16 GB of memory, for instance, can I split it into 2 8GB sections and implement striping across them? Note: I am not talking about using ramdisks at all. I am not trying to treat ram as hard drives but rather to speed it up. I have heard that there is a RAID 1 equivalent for RAM called mirroring, but I have not heard of a RAID 0 equivalent.

3You may need to look into benchmarks for this method FYI, SSD's and RAM sticks usually don't benefit from RAID configurations like HDD's do. I'm doubtful that RAM will see any speed up that's worth halving the amount of RAM you have. – SupaJord – 2019-03-21T15:59:30.110
