Not sure how I got there. Probably through a search engine. Now the broken page is here again in Firefox, https. Just refreshing the page before publishing the comment does not correct the problem. Under Palemoon and Opera, cleaning cache and everything since ever, then loading Ghacks brings it through http, and the layout is correct. Displayed address is still https.
The yellow warning says : connection not secure, parts of this page are not secure such as images. Edit 3 : once the above comment has been moderated and published, to a correct webpage, just refreshing the page breaks it again. I may have fixed the issue. Can you please try again, do a refresh Ctrl-F5 , and let me know please? Thanks for reporting the issue. Letting it run would make gHacks opened via https. This is performed with an empty cache.
Https at this time is fluid, renders pages as fast as http, and renders them complete. Amazing service! Thank you! I was surprised to read this article. I thought that RAM disks had gone the way of the dodo, and had been rendered obsolete by modern operating systems as well as the enormous power of contemporary hardware. Windows 95 era?
Maybe there are some specific situations where some very knowledgeable users could still take advantage of such software. I would love to learn more about that. This is far more problematic than the few milliseconds you might save here and there.
Generally, wholeheartedly agree. Most modern, mainstream software will make plentiful use of your ram is need be and its available which negates most RAM disk benefits. And data security outweighs any gains. I have however a niche use case where there are significant benefits.
I work as a structural engineer designing buildings. I am currently working on a building where one floor will house vibration sensitive scientific equipment. I am running a finite element analysis model to look at the impact on the dynamics of modifying a number elements and properties.
Right now I have 18 models to run, each taking hours to run. Turns out the software is fairly niche and as a result its optimisations are far from ideal! The whole thing is mostly single threaded, but can get around that by running multiple instances at once. Issue of data loss is also of low importance as I am copying files from network drive and back again when analysis is complete worst case is a loss of a couple of hours compute time.
Nice application! Great text Martin, thx. Personaly I use commercial RAM disks because of the lack od some important features in above free versions like using unmanaged memory for example.
Flyer how those two compare to DimmDrive? Thanks a lot for this overview! Went to all this work to write this up and not a single benchmark, so sad. You need to use Crystal Disk Mark to get transfer speeds. Hope you can update this article with benchmarks! Running an iK 4. WinRamTech provides now also a free but MB limited version. A temporary email works just fine though. The only other notable options are setting the default RAM disk configuration and changing the skin for the software interface.
There are some other RAM disks out there that we have tested before or looked at and cannot include for various reasons. BondDisc is another tool we looked at in the past that is actually very fast. As we mentioned earlier, the results can be split into two distinct categories, 4K scores and Sequential Seq scores.
The Q8T1 score for sequential and Q32T1 score for 4K is how well the RAM disk handles multiple file transfer requests at once, so they represent a heavier workload. Software that did well in the 4K scores also mostly does well in the sequential read and write scores. OSFMount wins this test with very high scores in both single and multi queue workloads.
At the end of the day, it depends on what you want from your RAM disk. December Uninstalling ImDisk and I have internet again. My best tested and usable for permanent Temp-folders and working space so far are Primo and Softperfect, Ultra does a great job too. Be advised that as Windows 10 Update , trying to create a ram drive of MB or larger will fail with error code CA. Somewhere along the line I damaged my ancient Sandy Bridge board, so I can only use two slots, which makes it doubly sucky for me.
Did a couple of tests figures are approximate Files on Ramdrive 2GB space 4GB — filesize No errors message other than not enough room on disk after 4Gb copied. I suggest that you consider adding ERAM to this list. Its driver and source code can be found by going to github. Theres a few options out there. Just figured you could make it complete. According the Winramtech formerly QSoft Ramdisk web site , the development of their ramdisk will stop on August 1st , Thanks — for some reason, I did not find it myself.
Even my current favourite browser Yandex was found here as well as a lot of other software that I actually do use on a regular basis. Regards, Milan. It would be interesting to see this test done in an AMD and Intel setting as well.
Thanks for keeping it up to date. Using it for my Temp folder, Firefox cache and Small pagefile. Some software demands a page file, eg Photoshop CS6 and probably earlier ones. I have 16 GB, and can spare 4GB for a ramdisk containing a pagefile.
When you are over 16GB ram you can spare some to send all disk caches there. Great job on the benchmarks! HAL — The next time ramdisks are evaluated, it would be very helpful if you would include the maximum RAM Disk size allowed by each product. One of my regular tasks is to run scanpst. A RAM disk is the perfect way to speed up this tedious task and it would be nice to know which products can do the job.
For sure it depends on the system. As a sysadmin, it obviously pays for me to install 16 or even 32GB of extra RAM in my machine if it can save me enough time over the life of the investment. By the way, great article. Kudos too, for keeping it updated. Any advice is appreciated! Buffalo Ramdisk is an interesting piece of software. It is a freeware, pretty fast and supports the OS invisible memory — interesting option for those who still use bit Windows.
It can be downloaded from: buffalo. I just wonder why the QSoft Ramdisk is not mentioned. According fiehnlab. Just out of curiosity , I did concurrently benchmark the QSoft and the Dataram ramdisks. The benchmarks were started at quasi the same time within the time to move and click the two start buttons. By this , the benchmarks run concurrently on the disks with the same size and the same filesystem.
I presume this the most accurate test one can perform. Me too. I installed that one shortly after I read that it was updated and is freeware. Fastest RAMdisk software of them all. And it supports command-line interface :D. What system did you use to test? My Maxxmem Preview scores are below, perhaps you could share yours to compare? Checking the RAMdisk showed that that the folder was now inaccessible and non delete-able and so I had to unmount the RAMdisk and re-mount it now empty to clear that problem.
