What is Ramdisk?

Ramdisk

Conjuring new storage space out of the blue may seem like a neat magic trick but the truth is that it can be easily done using RAM that is not generally in use. More than this, pulling off this kind of feat can have a positive impact on overall system performance.

• Works on older machines with 32-bit and more than 3GB of RAM

• Simple and straightforward interface


• Define size, drive letter, and type of the RAM disk

After installing the RAM disk you can define its size in bytes, the drive letter, and its type. The flexibility of the program permits making it a RAM drive, fixed, or removable media storage.

Before deciding to rely on this type of storage, you should keep in mind that the effect of this affair is only temporary because of the volatile storage property of RAM and once the machine is powered off the data located on the RAM disk goes away.

Although Ramdisk does bring advantages on a modern operating system, it can be used on older machines. Among the alternatives that can be used on newer OS versions, there is ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver and Dataram’s RAMDisk solution.
