For us the RAM configuration was the big winner in almost every aspect (more detail and more space)!

*1 Note that in this setup the harddisk was not powered seperately. Using a separate PS for the HD will surely help improving the sound. However I expect that it will still not be nearly as good as the RAM soluition.

Does that mean you loaded the OS on RAM as well as playlist or just the playlist.

When I was using Daphile I definitely felt playing from RAM was superior to playing from the SSD.

I have my SSDs separately powered from my Uptone Audio JS-2.
