4.8 ROG RAMDisk
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. The ROG RAMDisk also allows you to automatically backup, update, and restore
files.
RAMDisk only supports 64-bit OS.
The following folders are not suitable for RAMDisk optimization. Moving them into the
RAMDisk might negatively affectm the performance of your system.
•
Swap le/Page le: 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 .
Creating/Deleting a RAMDisk drive

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.
