But also DDR RAM operated at 300 MHz clock with a usual 64 Bit word width can basically handle the throughput. When writing full pages with sequential data, about 95% of the RAM speed are achievable as sustained rate. In any case, parallelization is the key. You didn't mention the data word width, so I assumed up to 16 Bit for my calculation. P.S.: DDR with 64Bit/200 MHz Clock can achieve already 3GByte/s, while your throughput would be only 2 GByte/s.
