HP RAMDisk
The RAMDisk is volatile memory space set aside for temporary data storage. It is the Z drive shown
in the My Computer window.
The following items are stored on the RAMDisk:
●
Browser Web page cache
●
Browser history
●
Browser cookies
●
Browser cache
●
Temporary Internet files
●
Print spooling
● User/system temporary files
You can also use the RAMDisk for temporary storage of other data (such as roaming profiles) at the
administrator’s discretion (see
Local Drives on page 11).
Use the RAMDisk Configuration dialog box to configure the RAMDisk size. If you change the size of
the RAMDisk, you will be prompted to restart for changes to take effect. To permanently save the
change, make sure to disable the write filter cache or to issue the -commit command during the
current boot session before restarting.
NOTE: The default optimal RAMDisk size is set to 32 MB. The maximum RAMDisk size that you
can set is 96 MB. The minimum is 2 MB. When installing an application that requires greater than
16MB, you may want to temporarily increase the size of the RAMDisk.
