Thanks op, PERFECT timing for this thread

I had forgotten all about this software and just ordered an extra 16GB RAM for a RAMDisk yesterday

>new in 3.4.7
>Allowed to manually save data to image even when data persistence is off

Funny I was looking for this exact feature, will probably set it to trigger once every 24hours when the screensaver kicks in

My Firefox (through about:config settings) and Chrome (through symlinks) caches are both set to use ramdisks, so I don't need to bother clearing them manually and save SSD disk writes.

Also, I download and save most files to the ramdisk drive too if I'm going to use them temporarily (like a installer, a podcast I'm going to listen right now, or just a photo I'm going to edit and then host online).

I never got errors with SoftPerfect RamDisk.

This.
Thinking about grabing more RAM and would be fun to play around with.

I like this. Anybody else have particle or even unorthodox ideas?

I Like stupid shit. Got an obsession right now with flipping bits on flash drives to make them local disks and then Raid 0 them for dumbass SSD storage. Tedious though. Only been able to get one brand to flip so far.

Here is an idea: find which files are most fragmented and place those on the ramdisk

fragmented files = lots of read/write and puts strain on your drive, should result in nice speedup

Some defragmenters can sort files by no# of fragments, auslogics and O&O comes to mind
