Ramdisk 4.0

RAMDisk comes with a different approach to improving the speed of applications or of various system activities on your computer. It allows creating a virtual RAM drive, which is a block of RAM memory assigned to be seen by the system as a disk drive. Programs and files can be stored directly onto this block of memory, which ensures that various activities (compiling programs, querying databases, SETI processing, etc.) can be performed a lot faster.

Probably, the best thing about RAMDisk is its saving and loading features. It lets you save the image of a virtual RAM drive and have it loaded automatically at every system startup. This means that you won’t have to use this program on a constant basis – you can use it only once and set up the RAM drive, then you can forget about it and be able to use that drive without any problem. The drive will be automatically saved and constantly shown as persistent storage, even through system reboots.

I also like the fact that this tool lets you choose the size, the type (FAT16. FAT32 or unformatted) and the name of the virtual drive.

In an end note, though not exactly suitable for the casual users, RAMDisk is a handy tool that can help a lot those who need to speed up applications of all kinds.
