How to use memory virtual hard disk

Memory ramdisk refers to the division of physical memory through software technology. A portion of memory is converted into a hard disk through virtual technology to greatly increase the speed of computer data reading and protect the hard disk.

Making a virtual hard disk with memory is mainly for a large-memory PC, or a special high-speed hard disk substitute that is used by servers that need high-speed reading.

There are two conditions that need to be met:

1, has a large memory space (recommended for more than 4GB machine use)

2. If you are using a Windows system, you must use a 64-bit operating system. Otherwise, the 32-bit system's maximum effective memory capacity is 3.25G, which is invalid if it is exceeded.

As for the purpose and purpose of nothing more than two kinds of 1, when used to access a large number of files will not be because of hard disk read speed slow phenomenon occurs. (eg, use thumbnails to browse folders up to thousands of images; large (bulky) files are compressed & decompressed)

2, the use of memory power-off data to clear all the features, can be used to store some do not need to save the TMP file. Or for some data security work. When the power is turned off and off, the data stored in the virtual hard disk is cleared using the physical characteristics of the memory. (The result of this clearing data is different from ordinary hard disk data deletion and is absolutely irreversible)

3, for servers to cache data and reduce hard disk reads repeatedly (for example, BT server will accept a large amount of data read and write every second, these data need to repeatedly read and write from the hard disk. Such repeated operations Greatly reduces the service life of the hard disk)

The method to achieve:

The Ramdisk suite from SuperSpeed ​​Software is a professional RAMDisk software.

The use of Ramdisk is very simple. Simply select the Enable RamDisk setting option in the Configure tab and either set the Drive Letter or Size (during the installation process or after running the program). Drive size) and File System. In the File System, you can select the FAT, NTFS, and RAW partition formats for the disks to be virtualized.

Tip: When the Ramdisk partition is NTFS, it has all the performance of this partition, including file compression, encryption and Other features, especially the file compression feature can make your Ramdisk more available space. It is recommended to use this type of partition. Here SuperSpeed ​​Software gives a suggested Ramdisk allocation size.

The system memory size is divided into Ramdisk size 512MB..................200MB

1 GB..................512MB

2 GB..................1.5GB

Excessive memory usage can result in slow system operation.
