I think the idea of databases being on-disk (vs in-memory) is getting quite outdated. You want durability of course, but most datasets can fit in memory these days.

(Which is natural if you consider the retarded development of disk/ram vs processing power; cf the memes of "disk is the new tape" "ram is the new disk")
