" Hyperspeed RAMDisk " for Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista / Server 2008Introduction :A RAMDisk acts as a virtual drive on your system. It allows you to create directories, copy files to and from it, etc.... The data however is not written onto a hard disk, but remains purely stored into a particular part of the RAM memory. Hard disks have mechanical parts that are needed to seek to a particular position on the magnetic storage media and to read/write data. This makes them relative lazy. A RAMDisk does not need to seek , and by this , it can read and write the same data to upon 30-60 times faster than a hard disk ! However, the data stored in RAM is "volatile" : it disappears when you cut off the power to the RAM memory, in other words, if you turn off your system. This applies to the content of the RAMDisk too !A ramdisk can perfectly be used to store :- web content of web servers.- temporary index files and tables of database servers ( MS-SQL-Server , MySQL , ...).- temporary files ( TEMP and TMP environment variable ) and "Temporary Internet Files".- the scratch disk for Adobe (R) Photoshop (R).- games and installed programs (1). The startup times of programs may decrease drastically !- audio and video capture / editing. - creation and playback of slide shows.- data that has to be written to CD , to prevent underrun during the burn process. - as storage of the "ReadyBoost" cache on Vista. - all kinds of data that may be lost ( or MUST be lost for security reasons ) at shutdown. (1) The software may be installed directly to the ramdisk , or an existing installation may be remapped using a "junction" ( with means of i.e. linkd.exe ) to a copy on the ramdisk. In both cases , the content of the ramdisk must reload automatically at boot time from an image file , or by means of a backup program.These are only a few examples. There will certainly be many more tasks for which a ramdisk can be used, depending on people's "inventivity" .There are currently two versions available for the 32-bit and 64-bit OS's :Be aware that a 32-bit version of the RAMDisk will not install and run on a 64-bit OS. The 64-bit version of the RAMDisk will also not install and run on a 32-bit version of the OS.Our software allows to create a RAMDisk , depending on the RAM memory size that the OS supports , to up to 64 GB. This RAMDisk has the capability to automatically reload an image file at boot time ( and before other services / programs are started ) and to save the ramdisk content at shutdown and/or at regular intervals. Home users, small and large business users, may experience this RAMDisk as a state-of-the-art solution.
