An SSD is still much, much slower than a RAM disk. Here a quick example that I found when I googled for it:
HDD: 100 MB/s read, 100 MB/s write
SSD: 400 MB/s read, 200 MB/s write
RAM: 5000 MB/s read, 7000 MB/s write

That used to be true for "traditional" SATA-connected SSDs. High-end M.2 form factor SSDs, increasingly supported by modern motherboards, are able to work several times faster. For example, the Samsung 970 Evo Plus claims peak read and write speeds of 3500 and 3300 MB/s, respectively.
