SuperSpeed offers two high-performance RAM disk products: RamDisk and RamDisk Plus. These products create virtual disks from the server's system memory (RAM). Although in many respects a virtual disk behaves like a physical hard disk, in one key area it does not: it is much, much faster, up to 50x faster or more. Like a physical disk, a RAM disk can be assigned a drive letter and contain a file system (including NTFS with compression). Applications can copy, move and delete files on it. Additionally, it can be shared, so other computers can access it on a network.
Features
RamDisk supports a single RAM disk with no backup capability. RamDisk Plus adds multiple disk support, system page file support, and a versatile disk image backup facility. Its patent-pending technology adds the ability to manually save the RAM disk's contents, or automatically save the contents when the server is shutdown. This feature ensures that service and application data stored on the RAM disk can be preserved between system restarts. During the subsequent system start-up, the disk's image is automatically loaded.
RamDisk and RamDisk Plus offer dramatic improvement in the storage performance of servers and applications running on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. Intel's IoMeter benchmark reveals that our ramdrives typically show a 50 times performance gain over a physical hard disk. In many instances, that translates into an improvement of 3 to 10 times in overall application speed.
'Designed for Windows Server 2003': RamDisk and RamDisk Plus have been thoroughly tested to meet Microsoft standards for Windows compatibility. Microsoft awards this logo to products that deliver a reliable, high-quality computing experience with Windows operating systems.
