RAM Drive (SDW Bait)

[remanz]

i used RAMDisk(a $10 software) for D3. Allocating 12G as a virtual disk. It performs as expected, fast read and fast write. But not day and night vs current gen SSD. It is a minor improvement if there is any.

however, the cost of having to fallback onto physical hard drive upon machine shut down and reload upon OS startup is too great IMO. My win7 start time went from 7 seconds (without RAMDISK loading stuff) to 1min 45 seconds. and My shut down takes like 10mins.

So in short, I think its worth using only for temp cache stuff (or use as scratch space for some software), where you do not have to copy onto it upon startup or offload it while shutting down.
