Getting a fast storage unit is the dream of every computer user aiming to improve the performance of games, programs, and overall work faster. Now, there are multiple options for storage drives such as SSDs and others, and we have reviewed them in an article about types of hard drives and the differences between them. However, they are often much more expensive than the traditional HDD hard drive in all computer devices. But still, you can get an extremely fast hard drive without additional cost! This is thanks to a technology called RAMDisk, which we will get to know through this article, as well as how to activate it on your computer to speed up program execution and file access.
The technology of RAM Disk or RAM Drive is a somewhat old technology that allows you to convert a part of the Random Access Memory (RAM) into an independent storage unit so that you can store files, programs, etc., and deal with them normally. This technology is distinguished by the fact that the storage unit you obtain is faster by multiples of ordinary hard drives, meaning that if you install a program on this drive, the process of running it takes much less time than running it on the main drive, whether HHD or SSD, and the same goes for games, the performance on this drive is higher.
But the important question here is, can this technology be used on my computer?
