I also remember a local manufacturer here in the late 1990's that made RAM drives for Macs - I had a friend there who worked in Tech Support. Their RAM drives were insanely expensive, given memory module prices of the day, and transferred data over the SCSI bus. Which gave them low latency and higher transfer rates, but at the cost of volatility. It wasn't a solution the average home user could opt for.
It just used the PCI bus for power though - was used a typical hard drive connection.
