Yes.

I haven't used them personally, but Seagate make a range of solid
state disks.  Other drive vendors might as well.  I thought they
included SCSI ones, but I can only find IPI (or flashcard) interfaces.
These just appear as a fast harddisk to the system.

Since you mention temperature, you should be aware that the DRAM-based
disks dissipate lots of power.
