I was considering putting a video together about the use of RAMDisk, and may have talked myself out of it. However, before I threw it out the window I figured I would see where the community is at in terms of storage hardware for their EQ Titanium client.
I have been using a 4GB RAMdisk with a slim Titanium install since March of 2021 with no issues. I have the 12GB AMD (paid) version that allows background saves. It loads the image from my HDD at startup and it updates the image as needed and during shutdown. It requires no intervention on my part but I run an occasional backup script for log files and character ini files. A battery backup is a must if you want to avoid data loss due to power failure.

PROS:
Faster loading times (Maybe slightly faster than my SSD)
No random mouse jerking/180 turns while using mouse look
Log files are not constantly writing to SSD

CONS:
The allotted RAM will not be available for use elsewhere.
