Lots of people have tried RAM cleaning programs, which obviously means buying, downloading and most of the time installing, but there is an easier way.

If you run Windows on a PC you’ll know that after a while your system will start running slowly, sometimes forcing you to reboot....

Are you sure about that? 300Mb/s 16Mb cache is standard now for SATAII

Yeh but what about the write speed, and latency and everything else.

Hard drives will never be used as ram. if anything, long life flash memory will be used.

Hard drives will die a death soon too, to be replaced with solid state memory. I think Hitachi are one of the companies working on it now.

The 300mb/s is the speed of the SATAII bus, not the hard drive. Speed is down to the medium plugged into it. A usual SATAII hard drive will read at around 60mb/s.
Write speed is about 2-3GB/s for my RAM
Latency is 64ns
I know they will never be used as RAM, because they will never become quick enough to do so.
Yes they will become redundant due to SSD's, but SSD's also have major disadvantages compared to magnetic spindle drives, such as price, slow random write speeds and limited write cycles, among others.
SSD's are already available, but at an extortionate price (64GB for about £500!!), hence why nobody has one.

True, but it doesn't mean it actually runs at that speed, just that it can.
