RamDisk Plus

RamDisk Plus is a practical and reliable software solution worth having around when you need to add, modify or remove RAM disks from your computer.

The main purpose of these RAM disks (or RAM drives) is to temporarily store data and cache files/folders, so computer performance is not affected.

Since the application supports a large number of RAM disks, each one can be built on specific NUMA nodes. NUMA, also known as non-uniform memory access, is a computer memory that lets the processor access its local memory faster than the non-local memory.

Depending on the system, you can create RAM disks of various sizes. Simply access the proper button from the toolbar and add new ones. You are required to specify the RAM disk’s size, assign a letter, change the format to NTFS or FAT, set up a new volume label and mount a new RAM disk automatically.

Security features are also available in RamDisk Plus. When you create a new RAM device, the second step of the wizard allows you to check a box, entitled ‘Zero memory when removed or restored’. This ensures that the entire content of the disk is wiped when it is removed from the system.

You can backup your RAM disks, restore the files and folders from these drives or preserve the RAM disk’s associated image file. These options are available from the right-click menu.

The ‘Auto-Wipe’ feature (which is available from the File menu) monitors all user logon and logoff events. This is useful in secured environments where more than one user can use the PC, but never more than one concurrently.

In closing, RamDisk Plus is a handy and straightforward application that comes in handy for users who need to create multiple RAM disks with personalized labels and predefined sizes.
