Choose a location and filename for your RAM disk and set its size to no more than one-eighth of the total amount of RAM installed in your PC if it’s 4GB or less (so 512MB for 4GB) or one-quarter if it’s more than 4GB (so 4,096MB if you have 16GB installed, for example). Once complete, the program should launch automatically. Start by downloading and installing the program - during installation, you may be prompted to install a driver - do so.

In this tip we’ll show you how to create a non-volatile RAM disk, whose contents will survive the shutdown and restart of your PC. Thankfully this doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker - among SoftPerfect RAM Disk’s many clever touches is its ability to store the contents of your RAM disk in a special file that’s updated before you switch off your PC, then automatically restored when you next boot up, ensuring the virtual drive’s contents aren’t lost.

However, RAM disks aren’t permanent by default - the RAM disk’s contents are lost every time you shut down or restart your PC. RAM disks offer faster performance and can also help extend the life of your hard drive by reducing the number of times it reads and writes data.
