Perfect RAM Soft Disk 3.3

SoftPerfect RAM Disk - a free program to create a virtual disk in RAM. Because memory is much faster than physical hard disks, it makes sense to achieve higher performance store temporary data in high-speed memory.

Key features of the RAM Disk

Any number of RAM disks. In practice, up to 26 disks due to the number of drive letters available. Any RAM disk size on 64-bit systems. Up to approximately 3.5 GB on 32-bit systems.

Persistent RAM disks with an associated on-disk image.

Volatile RAM disks whose content disappears on shutdown.

Built-in disk image manipulation tools.

Five reasons to use the RAM disk

Higher PC performance. Using a fast in-memory disk for temporary data boosts PC performance up, provided you have got a sufficient amount of RAM.

Reduced file system fragmentation. The file system on your disks will be far less fragmented as temporary files are never written to the disk.

Reduced wear-and-tear of the physical disk. As temporarily files are not written to the disk, there will be fewer read / write cycles, which is especially important for Solid State Drives (SSD) installed in some laptops.

Less junk on the hard disk. Often software applications create temporary files that remain undeleted although no longer needed.

Less noise and heat from the hard disk. The system will use the hard disk less intensively as it would storing temporary files on the disk.
