RAM disk
Updated: 04/26/2017 by Computer Hope
A RAM disk may refer to any of the following:
1. Alternatively called a RAM (random-access memory) drive, a RAM disk is a software-generated disk drive that stores information in computer memory rather than on a physical disk drive. Because information is stored and accessed directly from the computer memory, RAM disk drives are faster; however, they are more expensive than a standard hard drive.
2. RamDisk is also a software product by SuperSpeed that enables Microsoft Windows computers to increase the computer's performance by creating a virtual drive in memory.
