I'm not saying that either option is a perfect solution.  In fact, the
only reason that I even mentioned the ramdisk is because I have had good
success with that on my laptop, but then laptops essentially have a
built-in UPS.  I personally wouldn't use a ramdisk except as a last
resort if you don't have some sort of UPS or redundancy in the PSU.
