Excellent program. Been using this for two years now, never ran into a problem. Does perfectly what it claims to do. Using a RAM disk mainly for browser caching, torrent files downloads and watching movies straight from the RAM disk.

I have been using different software for creating ramdisk for a long time now. I tried many of the programs like dataram disk, softperfect, amd and some other but they lack this features that Primo ram disk has: compact mode is superb (I like to set like 6 gb or more of my ram for the disks) and this dynamic stuff works just fine. I coulnd't find a better software yet. My only wish is for it to be free or not to cost that much money.

the only software i found yet, which allocates ram only for files saved on it rather than allocating the whole maximum. This has the great benefit of not to waste lots of ram idiling for creation of something (not only formatting the filesytem to something like ntfs or fat32).

i think iam going to waste the 30 bucks for a liscence...

What is Primo Ramdisk?

Primo Ramdisk is the second generation of VSuite Ramdisk product. It brings new features and improved performance, as well as a friendlier user interface. As VSuite Ramdisk did, Primo Ramdisk also provides a solution to speed up your computer by overcoming current hard disk bottleneck issue. It allows you to emulate hard disks using available physical memory. Because the access speed of physical memory is so much faster than most kinds of storage, this greatly speeds up your computer with reduced access time to files, which in turn, shows a huge improvement in overall performance.

Primo Ramdisk features a host of powerful functions and options maximizing performance and applicability. Primo Ramdisk supports up to 128 virtual disks. Each virtual disk can identify itself to Windows as a real physical hard disk or as a logical disk. It can be formatted with any Windows supported file system. Furthermore, Primo Ramdisk allows you to customize file system settings if necessary.

Primo Ramdisk also provides strong ability to rapidly save/restore ramdisk contents to/from an image file. Thus a ramdisk's contents can be preserved across computer restarts, in spite of the volatility of physical memory.

In addition, Primo Ramdisk offers unique features to effectively and efficiently manage system memory. It is able to dynamically allocate or release system memory for ramdisks, making better use of memory. Primo Ramdisk also implements the Unified Invisible Memory Management Interface (UIMMI) to create ramdisks from Invisible Memory, thereby overcoming the Windows limits on amount of system memory and allowing all installed physical memory to be fully utilized.

Besides ramdisks, Primo Ramdisk also supports to create hybrid-disks and file-disks, greatly extending its functionality. Main Feature List Disk Features
