Fast Disk Even From SSD With RAMDisk!
Do you know that by using your computer's RAM, you can create a faster, more privacy-oriented drive than SSDs?
There is nothing that can pour water into the speed of RAM when it comes to storage for your PC. If you have plenty of RAM, you can convert some of your RAM into a very fast storage drive using open-source software like ImDisk.
In order to benefit from the speed gain of the RAM disk, you need to pay attention to a few points. First of all, if the application you will use on the RAM disk uses cache on RAM, you may not get a significant speed increase. The second and more important point is that when you turn off your PC, all the contents of the RAM disk are permanently destroyed.
Although this may seem like a disadvantage, it can turn into an advantage that it is used for privacy purposes. According to Dataram's claim, the content of RAM becomes completely unrecoverable when the PC is powered down. Express VPN, a VPN service, is known to run the entire VPN service in memory for this purpose.
Speed Difference
Today's SATA SSD can reach 500MBps read/write speeds on average. In RAM disks, it is possible to reach reading and writing speeds such as 8.7/15.8 GBps, that is, 30 times speed improvement.
Does it work in all Windows RAM?
Software called HyperOS allows you to run a deleted Windows when finished. So while it is possible to run Windows completely in memory, you may need to fix some hardware problems first.
Do You Need a RAM Disk?
Although the RAM disk is very fast, it can be seriously affected by bottlenecks in your system. Not every software can run on a RAM disk, but since your operating system will be on a slower disk, you will not have used all the potential. However, it may be time to do some experiments with the RAM disk, as RAM prices are low compared to all time.
