   Jim Bell's comment:

   I wonder if DRAM-based SSD's would be practical for Chia mining.  There
   shouldn't be a need for non-volatility.    SD- cards get a lot of their
   density by constructing them in many layers, up to 144 I recently
   read.

   I  haven't been keeping up with DRAM construction techniques, but I
   wonder if DRAMs can be multi-layered in a similar way.

   I also wonder what is the wearout mechanism for SD non-volatile
   memories.  [2]Flash Memory Reliability, Life & Wear » Electronics Notes

     Flash memory reliability and lifetime are key issues - find out all
       about Flash memory life, wear levelling and failure mechanisms.
