Integrates mini tools to easily utilize virtual disks.
Load Only, Save at Shutdown, Save Before Removal, Timing Save, Real-time Save, and Manual Save. Supports image file format: Plain/Smart/Compressed Image. Supports user-defined NTFS file system settings (compression, indexing, and permission).
Supports user-defined volume label, serial number and drive letter. Supports Unified Invisible Memory Management Interface (UIMMI). Supports Dynamic Memory Management (DMM). Supports ramdisk, hybrid-disk, and file-disk.
Primo Ramdisk also implements the Unified Invisible Memory Management Interface (UIMMI) to create ramdisks from Invisible Memory, thereby overcoming the Windows limits on amount of system memory and allowing all installed physical memory to be fully utilized.īesides ramdisks, Primo Ramdisk also supports to create hybrid-disks and file-disks, greatly extending its functionality. It is able to dynamically allocate or release system memory for ramdisks, making better use of memory. In addition, Primo Ramdisk offers unique features to effectively and efficiently manage system memory. Thus a ramdisk's contents can be preserved across computer restarts, in spite of the volatility of physical memory. Primo Ramdisk also provides strong ability to rapidly save/restore ramdisk contents to/from an image file. Furthermore, Primo Ramdisk allows you to customize file system settings if necessary. It can be formatted with any Windows supported file system. Each virtual disk can identify itself to Windows as a real physical hard disk or as a logical disk. Primo Ramdisk supports up to 128 virtual disks.
Primo Ramdisk features a host of powerful functions and options maximizing performance and applicability. Because the access speed of physical memory is so much faster than most kinds of storage, this greatly speeds up your computer with reduced access time to files, which in turn, shows a huge improvement in overall performance. It allows you to emulate hard disks using available physical memory. As VSuite Ramdisk did, Primo Ramdisk also provides a solution to speed up your computer by overcoming current hard disk bottleneck issue. It brings new features and improved performance, as well as a friendlier user interface. Primo Ramdisk is the second generation of VSuite Ramdisk product. You can also work with on-disk images and RAM disks associated with an on-disk file, that ensures your data is preserved between sessions. This product lets you create any number of virtual RAM disks limited only by the memory available. Modern computers are equipped with at least 1 GB of RAM, however most of the time there is a lot of unused memory that could be used as a high-performance alternative to the slower hard disk storage.
As Windows and third-party applications often create a large number of temporary files for a short time only, using a RAM disk will extend your hard disk's life by sparing it from excessive reading and writing. Furthermore, Windows can be configured to use the disk for temporary files, so the system and most applications will use the fast in-memory disk for temporary data. The program creates a virtual disk residing in the computer RAM accessible in Windows Explorer and other applications, allowing you to store any temporary information on this disk. Whatever your job is, read on to find out what a RAM disk can offer you.
As the memory is much faster than physical hard disks, it makes sense to store temporary data on a fast in-memory disk to achieve a higher performance.
SoftPerfect RAM Disk is a free high-performance RAM disk application that lets you have a disk on your computer entirely stored in its memory.
