Still not sure if we're allowed to tell the names of other ramdisks. It was dirt cheap though (11 bucks), so I got it as well. There's one ramdisk in particular that allows for almost double of Primo's sequential read speed on my system, but it leaves a lot to be desired in any of the 4k tests. 1 thread reading for 30 secs from file C:RamDiskTemptestfile.dat using 2KB IOs over 128KB stripes with 64 IOs per run buffering set to not use file nor disk caches (as is SQL Server) size of file C:RamDiskTemptestfile.dat needs to be: 8388608 bytes Test result. Some games stream contents into RAM, some load it all at once, so I went with the ramdisk that has the best average reading performance on my system.
Benchmark every one of them to get to know your system and what speeds it can reach, then pick the ramdisk software that performed best. After all ramdisks are for those with plenty of RAMĭon't assume anything because you've benchmarked one ramdisk software. It may save 100 or 200 megabyte per 10 gigabyte of files on the ramdisk when active, but with RAM being so cheap at the moment I can't see why someone would enable NTFS compression and lose performance. Then you can assign a Drive letter and select Media type from the following: RAM Drive, Fixed Media, and Removable Media. You can select the size from 16MB to 3GB. To setup RAMDisk, the first thing you have to do is select the RAMdisk size.
I found turning it off actually increases writing speeds tremendously. Gavotte Ramdisk is a simple RAMdisk creator software with few options to setup. Also it makes quite a difference if you've got NTFS compression enabled for your ramdisk. The new RAM drive can be used to store the files that need to be frequently accessed by various applications.
The files I put onto my ramdisks are rarely compressible so I've set it to "100% (Incompressible)". Dataram RAMDisk 4.4.0 RC36 (Crack + Keygen) Dataram RAMDisk is a compact program that allows you to use your RAM memory in order to create a disk partition. rd-disks/1 offers some explanation.Īs far as Anvil's benchmark program is concerned, varying values are partly due to compressibility of the test files written or read. I think alignment is for those 4k drives so we can see if the first partition starts at exactly 4kbyte.
