What would a test system be good for if you couldn't do some real testing?!

The engineer at STRATO decided to experiment with an iRAM that he connected to one of the internally available SAS connectors. The iRAM is essentially a DDR-based storage device that mimics a SATA harddrive. The idea was to support random IO (typical for mailspool) with an ultra-fast disk.
