I use DVD-RAM for my primary video storage media. Does anyone else...?
DVD-RAM is a DVD media format, similar to DVD-R or DVD+R.think you mean dvd-rom,thats your burner.i still burn the odd dvd and still like my music on cd,but burn a quarter of what i did 5 years ago.

I'm trying to think of a good analogy for this. Unfortunately I cannot think of anything right now.
In the end, no. Even if it could it would be way too slow.
Can DVD-RAM be used as actual RAM memory? Like, alongside my current RAM sticks, can DVD-RAM be used as RAM too?
A 16x DVD-RAM can transfer at speed up to 21.13MB/s. A module of DDR3-1600 is 12.6GB/s.Can DVD-RAM be used as actual RAM memory? Like, alongside my current RAM sticks, can DVD-RAM be used as RAM too?
2x is 2.64MB/sMy DVD-RAMs are Panasonic 2-3x speed ones.

Not to mention, optical media has a much lower number of rewrites before they begin to fail than solid state flash.
Also factor in errors associated with optics, moving parts, heat... if you could get it going, you'd have a computer whose HDD cache file is faster than its RAM for a time period on the order of minutes.
I've been wasting my money all this time buying RAM when I could have just been buying HDD's!
