The Taiwanese flash product manufacturer InnoDisk has shown an adapter to fit SSDs in a RAM slot. The company showcased the product at the Computex exhibition currently held in Taiwan. The adapter makes it possible to fit a M.2 SSD in a DDR3 slot.
Obviously it's no good idea to swap a slow SSD for fast RAM and this also isn't the intention of this module. Innodisk designed the adapter to provide power to M.2 SSDs using the power supplied by the DDR3 slot. The actual data transfer goes over regular SATA meaning the SSD consumes a SATA slot. The drives don't use the superfast RAM bandwidth and neither PCI-Express lanes.
Nevertheless, Innodisk has made some effort to increase the speed of the M.2 SSDs. The module has a JMicron RAID controller onboard that controlers two SSDs. The advantage of the module is that it's possible to use small M.2 SSDs on systems that don't have a M.2 slot.
