SuperSpeed RamDisk v8.0.4.0 Desktop

SuperSpeed offers two high-performance RAM disk
products: RamDisk and RamDisk Plus. Both use our
patent-pending memory management (up to 512 GB) and
gate (for blazing speed) technologies to create a
virtual disk out of RAM. The RAM disk appears like a
physical hard disk to the operating system and
programs. You choose its size (depending on the
amount of RAM in your system), drive letter, and
file system. You can copy, move and delete files on
it. Like a physical disk, a RAM disk can also be
shared so as to be accessed by other computers on a
network.

The most important difference between a RAM disk and
a hard disk is access speed. The time taken for a
hard disk to move its magnetic heads over the
spinning disks (much like the arm moving over old
vinyl record player) is typically measured in
milliseconds (thousandths of a second). Whereas a
RAM disk does not have mechanical parts and its
access speed is typically measured in nanoseconds
(billionths of a second). Access to a RAM disk may
be 50 times faster or more than to a hard drive.

RamDisk supports a single RAM disk with no backup
capability. RamDisk Plus adds multiple disk support,
system page file support, and a versatile disk image
backup facility. You can manually save the RAM
disk's contents to an image file, or have the
contents saved automatically when the computer is
shutdown. This feature ensures that service and
application data stored on the RAM disk can be
preserved between system restarts. During the
subsequent system start-up, the disk's image is
automatically loaded.

Security: Another reason for using a RAM disk is
security or privacy. Once the server is restarted or
shutdown, the contents of the RAM disk are lost
(when the auto-save feature is disabled). For some
services or applications, this is an important
attribute that contributes to the protection of
sensitive data or information.
