But the SSD will retain its data when the machine crashes, or the power goes out, or when the drummer decides to find out what that button does (it turns the UPS on and off, doofus). I'd never record to a RAM disk because there's always an additional step needed to write to the "real" storage. Even if you use rsync to only write what's new, there may be significant delays while you do the dump.
That's all true... Ramdisk is something to use if you're on a machine with a UPS, a stable kernel, no xruns, etc. And you have to remember to save your work. Still...imagine the bandwidth! Woo!
