12 Software RAM Disk Solutions - Up To 2358/1539Mb/s R/W Speeds 2 Attachment(s) 12 Software RAM Disk Solutions Compared Loyal reader Charles pointed out this interesting comparison of different software RAM disk solutions, thanks Charles! As a standard, I will create 500MB on every RAMDisk software if it allows me to. Then I will use the default CrystalDiskMark benchmark settings to test on the RAMdisk space. I’ve tried running the test a few times and the result I get is always different but they are very close. The number that matters the most is the 4K test source of the charts is from: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/...d-write-speed/ where you can also find links to all the software used. The DATARam RAMDisk Freeware might be most popular seeing the results are a cut above the rest : http://memory.dataram.com/products-a...ftware/ramdisk |
Was using Gavotte Ramdisk, but switched to DATARam RAMDisk now, let's see if the performance difference is noticeable :) |

I can't realy see the use of ramdisk as they are either too small or either use too much of your ram (resulting in a lot of swapping between ram and hdd) |
- Firefox/IE Temp Folder - Windows Temp Folder - Outlook Secure Attachment Temp Folder Those alone boost web browsing experience tenfold, launching installations, and opening attachments in Outlook; night & day difference |
Are they all compatible wit win 7 ? |
some are, some aren't; the one I just installed (DATARam) is: Dataram RAMDisk - Windows 7, Windows Vista, XP, Server |
I've been using Dataram for a couple of years. - The entire Firefox (including profile) ---> MASSIVE difference - IE8 temp - MPC-HC - Winamp - Avidemux2 (portable) - in general any portable software I want to try |
I must say, after seeing the Random Write numbers, I will be trying the Gilisoft RAMdisk. I have tried the SuperSpeed one but it crashes too often. |
How do you put the entire firefox in the dataram? the profile is easy, just change the profile.ini, but can i do something more ? Also, didn't understand which directory do you change for the outlook. Thanks |
Well, during installation I specify the RAM-disk as the destination for Firefox. I make sure I set the RAMdisk's options to save the RAMdisk to the hard drive on exit and to load it on startup. It adds on your exit and start-up times but you get an instantly on Firefox and significantly less wear on your SSD (which given my use of Firefox, it is substantial :))I then use the profile manager to create a new Firefox profile in the RAM, delete the old, and finally rename the new 'default'. What do you mean by the profile.ini ? |
