@Red Falcon,
I assume its best to write to the ramdisk when transcoding music / videos. Or In that case would it be most beneficial to read and write to the disk?

I have used (and do use) ramdisk for programming uses. You can write data files to memory so that it keep the IO off the drive and it also allows you to then process that file very quickly.
I have used ANCIENT computers for servers, but because the servers were processing data stored on a RAMDISK (tmpfs in Linux) the websites were quite responsive.
Biggest bottleneck with transcoding is still the optical drive (if your source is a DVD or BluRay).I tried handbrake on a HDD and an SSD and I saw no noticable difference in transcode speeds....the margin was within noise limits.
You're just not dumping that much data to disc
Who all uses ramdisks in their every day computing?
I striped a 16gb ramdisk with a 16gb partition of my 2nd 120gb ssd to load my games faster lol... Plus I plan on using it when I process my gopro videos.
I'm using Dataram RAMDisk.
Ive used ram disk before... games loaf same speed as SSD. No noticable difference. Used ddr3 1600 3930k. Benches are unreal though.
