I have a server which hosts videos with 4images that are no more than 6mb, and I only have 1 hard drive, and about 100 uniques all the time, my HD is causing the loads to be very high since it cannot read/write fast enough. I do not have the money to do raid and get another hard drive. Is there anyway to utilize my free ram, by keeping some of ther most heavily trafficed video files in memory all the time? I always have at least 400mb of free ram. I know this might be more of a server question, but could someone point me in the right direction, or tell me that I am insane maybe for asking such a question?
