SoftPerfect RAM Disk is a high-performance RAM disk tool that allows you to store a whole disk in your computer's memory. Because memory is far faster than actual hard drives, putting temporary data on a fast in-memory disk yields superior performance. Whatever your job, keep reading to learn more about what a RAM disk program can do for you.

SoftPerfect RAM drive generates a virtual drive in the computer's RAM that can be accessed using Windows Explorer and other apps, allowing you to store any temporary data on it. Furthermore, Windows can be configured to use the program for temporary files, allowing the system and most other applications to store temporary data on the fast in-memory drive. Because Windows and other third-party software frequently generate a significant number of temporary files that are only used for a short period of time, using a RAM disk will increase the life of your hard drive by reducing the amount of reading and writing it does. This is especially useful for SSDs, which have a limited number of writes.

Modern computers have at least 4 GB of RAM, and there is usually a large amount of spare memory that might be exploited as a high-performance alternative to slower HDD storage. This software allows you to build an unlimited number of virtual RAM drives, limited only by the memory available. You can also use on-disk images and RAM disks coupled with on-disk files to keep your data across sessions.

While average users will profit from shifting web browser caches and Windows temporary files to a RAM storage, IT pros may reap even greater benefits. For example, programmers can speed up development by routing intermediate compiler output to a RAM disk, while database administrators can enhance efficiency by employing a RAM drive for things like tempdb, and so on.

Key features of the app:

  • Any number of RAM drives. Because of the quantity of available drive letters, it is possible to use up to 26 disks in practice. 
  • 64-bit systems can have any RAM disk size. On 32-bit systems, the maximum capacity is around 3.5 GB. 
  • Persistent RAM disks and on-disk images. 
  • Volatile RAM disks are those whose contents disappear when they are shut off. 
  • Built-in disk image manipulation tools.

Five very good reasons to use SoftPerfect RAM Disk:

  • Improved computer performance. If you have enough RAM, employing a fast in-memory drive for temporary data will improve computer speed. 
  • Reduced physical disk wear and tear. Because temporary files are not written to the hard disk, there will be fewer read/write cycles, which is especially essential for extending the life of solid-state drives (SSD) often found in laptops. 
  • There is less garbage on the hard disk. Many software applications generate temporary files that are not erased even after they are no longer required. Every time the computer restarts or turns off, the contents of RAM drives are wiped, ensuring that useless data do not clog your hard drive. 
  • Reduced fragmentation of the file system. Because temporary files are never written to the hard disk, your HDD's file system will be significantly less fragmented. 
  • The system will use the hard disk less intensely, resulting in reduced noise and heat
