Furthermore, Windows can be configured to use the disk for temporary files, so the system and most applications will use the fast in-memory disk for temporary data. The program creates a virtual disk residing in the computer RAM accessible in Windows Explorer and other applications, allowing you to store any temporary information on this disk. As the memory is much faster than physical hard disks, it makes sense to store temporary data on a fast in-memory disk to achieve a higher performance and a longer life of your HDD or SSD. RAMDisk can also out-perform solid state disks (SSDs).SoftPerfect RAM Disk is a high-performance RAM disk application that lets you have a disk on your computer entirely stored in the memory. A RAMDisk operating at maximum bandwidth does not produce excessive heat, noise or vibrations. You can access it at maximum bandwidth 24/7/365 without fear of mechanical failure, or fragmentation (while a RAMDisk can become fragmented just like any other disk, but it does not take a performance hit like a physical disk does when it becomes fragmented). Custom applications with high I/O, high bandwidth, or high security requirementsĪn additional feature of a RAMDisk is that it will never wear out. Security - all information can be wiped upon power loss or shutdown Most users use RAMDisk to speed up applications like: In a word: SPEED! The performance of a RAMDisk, in general, is orders of magnitude faster than other forms of storage media, such as an SSD (up to 100X) and hard drive (up to 200X). The more RAM your computer has, the larger the RAMDisk you can create. RAMDisk is a program that takes a portion of your system memory and uses it as a disk drive.
