RAMDisk is a data-storage software that reserves a part of your system’s memory and turns 

it into a high-speed virtual drive where you can store cache files and game apps for instant 

access. By optimizing your RAIDR Express card’s SSD, RAMDisk allows you to automatically 

backup, update, and restore files.

The following folders are not suitable for RAMDisk optimization. Moving them into the 

RAMDisk might negatively affectm the performance of your system.

• 

Swap file/Page file: The swap file is a permanent storage space used as the virtual 

memory expansion of the system memory.  Moving the swap file into the RAM 

Disk simply defects the whole purpose of having it and may affect your system’s 

performance.

• 

Startup folders: Since RAMDisk loads during boot up together with the contents of 

the Junction folders, changing the location of the startup folders may cause system 

error and disable loading your RAMDisk.

To launch RAMDisk, click

Your RAMDisk drive allows you to place your favorite applications and files into RAM so you 

can utilize your RAM speed for better read/write performance. The files that are stored inside 

the RAMDisk are automatically backed up every time your PC is turned off. 

The startup time may take a while, depending on the size of your RAMDisk drive.
