baconaise Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have some computers with incredibly slow hard drives, but plenty of RAM. Is it possible to use the RAM as a temporary hard disk so it doesn't take 2 minutes to load a 30MB .pdf? It seems like it should be, but I haven't figured out how.

AndyG Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi, you should have to look at "Ramdisk", something like this: https://www.geckoandfly.com/21507/ramdisk-virtual-disk-memory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTFC Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Unlike the previous suggestion of payware, ImDisk is totally free, open source, and unlimited in size.

RTFC Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 @Earthshine: that's 1. not open-source, and 2. limited to 4GB (or 6GB if youhappen to use AMD Radeon memory).
