You don't make a ramdisk with your cache. The cache is managed by your controller.

You use the card's cache to increase the performance of your slog by putting your SSD on it and using it as an slog. The problem is that when you do that you probably have to enable the write cache for all of the disks on your controller. This is very dangerous and potentially very performance crippling if your pool's disks have the write cache enabled.

I guess I was misunderstanding then, So basically it was just saying that you could use the raid card as write cache instead of adding a SLOG? I think after rereading it a few times again that is how I am understanding it. Thanks for clearing that up for me, and deleted my first post in the wrong section XD
