RamDisk 11 for Desktop Systems |
OVERVIEW |
Superspeed offers two high-performance RAM disk products: RamDisk and RamDisk Plus. | |||
| RamDisk and RamDisk Plus® |
|
|||
| 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 Features: | RamDisk Plus adds multiple disk support, system page file support, and a versatile disk image backup and restore 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. A "live" RAM disk image may be backed up even with open handles to the volume. A RAM disk viewer lets you load image files as read-only devices. | |||
| Extended memory access | RamDisk Plus 11 has a most unique feature. Our patent pending technology can access memory beyond the limitation imposed by a Windows 32-bit operating system! In other words, RamDisk Plus 11 can use "unmanaged" Windows' memory e.g. above 4GB. It can also use the stubbornly inaccessable memory between 3.2GB and 4GB. Click here to download RamDisk Plus for 32-bit trial. This feature has now been included into the 64-bit RamDisk Plus version 11.7.917. Any memory not accessible by a Windows 64-bit OS can now be included for use by a RamDisk! For example, Windows 7 Home Primum 64-bit can access up to a maximum 16GB of RAM. If your system has more, then RamDisk Plus can make the extra "unmanaged" RAM above 16GB available for a RamDisk. |
|||
| Disk types | Virtual and removable disk types are also supported. Disks can be created with partition tables or without. RamDisk and RamDisk Plus can both create partitionable RAM disks, which are supported by Volume Managment software. Windows' MMC disk managment snap-in recognizes and manages partitionable RAM disks. They are also compatible with other software such as Partition Magic and Veritas Volume Manager. RamDisk Plus also can create and configure non-partitionable RAM disks, which are compatible with RAM disks created by RamDisk and RamDisk Plus version 8.0. RAM disks can be zeroed out upon removal and the disk image file can be preserved upon removal. A new licensing mechanism binds the software to the machine name rather than a system ID. |
|
|
| 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. | |
| "Designed for Windows Vista & XP " | RamDisk and RamDisk Plus have been thoroughly tested to meet Microsoft standards for Windows 7, Vista and XP compatibility. Microsoft awards these logos to products that deliver a reliable, high-quality computing experience with Windows operating systems. | |
| For disk I/O performance benefits similar to RamDisk but with low or no added risk of data loss, see SuperCache. | ||

Both use our patented memory management
(up to 512 GB) 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.
