Ramdisk is a technology for using RAM as a disk for temporary data storage.


The driver of the program emulates in the system a virtual disk (partition) physically stored in RAM.
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_drive

Among the many similar products I want to highlightQsoft RAMDisk "Enterprise". The Russian version is free, the program has sufficient functionality and stability.Last available. Tested on Windows 7, 8, 10
AMD Radeon RAMDisk | Primo ramdisk | Imdisk

I suggest here to share experiences on the use of RAM disks, the intricacies of tuning, examples of use, etc.

IMHO not worth it. It is easier to buy a second screw and raid them. Better yet 2 SSD and raid them.
Meanwhile, more than any lame and without it instantly upload and download.

Quite ohreneli- keygen for free software :)

I ramDisk of superspeed, he is able to persist in the hdd - very convenient.
8gb ram, but 32bit system - and change it did not see the point in the 64 bit long. Accordingly, 5GB disk frames.

Maybe someone knows what's the problem?

Dump error to read. And the setting of the program. Perhaps the disk is no place for saving the image or something.

1. source ntfs. The default transaction resource manager on volume B: Onetime discovered the error, and it can not be started. The data contains the error code. code 137
2.Kompyuter was restarted after a critical error. Error Code: 0x000000f4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xfffffa800f089060, 0xfffffa800f089340, 0xfffff80002fd05f0)

zadolbali these errors, once a week catching the BSOD, operatives mistakes ...
in general, I changed to this programDataRamUp to 4 gigs free, errors immediately disappeared, the disc can be seen now from the Disk Manager, a little bit slower on the results of CrystalDiskMark? but at speeds such imho, not critical, but stable. We will see further

there's just the Customize ntfs not, but it's not a problem, create a RAW disk, and then formatted Windows.

Yes 4k low, near the enterprise should have a couple of years, lacking only an image viewer and hot quickly add additional. drive but in addition rate softperfect superior to most I have found analogues. 5-8 seconds vs. minutes and therefore it is urgently necessary if yuzayu large frames.
even noticed one bug in all the frames in certain operations with small files (create / delete / ntfs compression) discs start overflow even though in real life to them and there is nothing to get rid did not understand in the end only helps preserve the image and restart well, either Format .

I not noticed in 10-15 seconds plus loading (if the image on the HDD) - Yes, it is unpleasant. Maybe it depends on the rest of the equipment.

With this has not yet encountered. Apparently, operation undefined: scratch_one-s_head: stung drive up to 2GB, there is no need to bГіlshem volume.
But buggy technology, yes. above, there are a few examples. In one place a bug gets out, then another. Likely option for the business segment is more reliable.

Rep: (27)
Hello. Thank you for all the information on the driver. I would like once again to clarify the final important point: as I understand it, locked storage reserved for devices such as video / audio card etc; resident - free and, finally, system - available for the system software? And why on the virtual disk size if AUTO CHANGEOVER is noticeably reduced, it does not mean that the Seven x32 itself leverages available memory to suit your needs, or the size of the disk is automatically increased on entry?

Well, it goes without implied, not even doubt possible. The system "tries to" make maximum use of available memory, loading it in the projected cash superfechem applications etc.
System - memory is reserved for system hardware and drivers, such as video / audio card etc;
Locked memory works (to be included) only on 32-bit systems - as I understand it, the option allows the use of addressing the region lying outside the 3.25GB.
Not exactly sure, for several years I did not come across x86 systems. At least in terms of their use of large amounts of memory.



Rep: (27)
In general, opted for the commercial utility version of Primo Ramdisk Standard Edition, which sees, and allows the use of unused 32-bit system Volume of the memory up to 8GB (qsoft on the same bit depth I saw no more than 1GB). program pagehttp://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/index.html. License for 2 pisyuka costs $ 29.95, while "gold partner Microsoft» SuperSpeed ​​asks obscene $ 79.95. That is, you can buy softinu chipped and then a licensed version of the program will cost slightly less than the sum of 500 rubles. If there is a wish to join, the Wellcome. The trial period of the program to try for 30 days.

There is a certain driverFiradiskWhich can be mounted in grub to boot the operating system and to connect later. Theoretically, it is possible to even entirely thrust system: scratch_one-s_head:
