Ram Disk | Create Ram Disk | Use of Ram disk
hi friends, welcome to my channel techtalk101sd. As we all know one of the fastest memory is the ram. now today I will tell you guys how you can turn your ram memory to disk. you can use that disk to run any application game task and as ram is one of the fastest memory on your system so the data process will be much faster than your HDD or even ssd. so in simple words, we will learn how you can run ram as a disk. first let's see how to do this, then I will also tell you where you can use it.

okay so to use our ram as a disk we need a third-party tool. there are many paid tools available in the market but I will show you guys a free tool that you can use. go to google and search for imdisk-toolkit and download from any of the website that you are comfortable with. it will download a zip file, and when you extract the zip file on that folder you will see install.bat file. after running the install.bat file, set up will begin. now check all the boxes as I have done here. now when you press install within seconds as you can see it will be installed and you will see the shortcuts.

now run ramdisk configuration and it should open imdisk will start running. here you can choose the size of the disk according to available ram you have. like i am provideing 4 gb. now choose from the available drive letter. file system will be ntfl. and checks will remain and then click on ok. you will see there will be a new disk created with the space that you assigned. you have to click on ok to mount that device. then exit that window.

now as you can see a ram disk will be created with the drive letter you selected.

I have hdd as well as ssd and a newly created ram disk so now let me test the speed of three of them.

to test the speed I will download crystal disk mark. it's a portable tool. I will open the tool in three windows to run the test at the same time. one for ssd one for hdd one for the ram disk.

c is ssd, d is hdd and z ram disk. now when running the speed test as you guys can see ssd is above 1500 mbps hdd is near 140 and the ram disk is near 4400 mbps. so as you can see its near about 30x faster than your hdd and nearly about 3x faster than ssd. this might differ regarding your ssd hdd and ram speed.
------------

now lets see where we can use this ram disk. but before that lets see how ram works. we all know ram is volotile memory, until current is cut out to the ram it stores data. so when your computer is running ram stores data untill shut down or restart. now ram disk works the same way don't think that as it will work as a regular disk to store or process data. so when your system is running you can use ramdisk but if you shutdown your system ram disk will be wiped clean.

1.
now programs or process that are disk havey, utilise disk speed. we can use ram disk to get a smooth experince. like video editing, rendering, compiling software, because you need fast data proccesing.

2. large data handling
some times while handling large database our system gets hang or dont work properly. we can utilise ram disk to handle those large data.

3. temporary file storage
like you want to test a program or check a data but dont want to store it. you can use ram disk.

4.software testing
you might be a devloper or just want to test an software. using ram disk will give you the best speed to run and test them smoothly.

5. run media.
many times big media files dont rum smoothly in our system or clutters after running few min. you can experince a flawless experince if you run them on ram disk.

6. privecy and security
as ram disk is a voolatiel disk. you can use it for privecy and security resons also. as when ever system is shout down ram disk flusesh all data in it.

7.games
if you play online games and your system is not giveng you the proper smoothness you can use ram disk.

there are many other tasks that you can run on ram disk and utilise its fast speed.

---------
now to unmount the ramdisk open the configaration once again and you will see option to unmount the disk over there.
