A RAMDisk acts as a virtual drive on your system. It allows you to create directories, copy files to and from it, etc… However, the data is not written onto a hard disk, but remains purely stored into a particular part of the physical RAM memory. Hard disks have mechanical parts that are needed to seek to a particular position on the magnetic storage media and to read/write data. This makes them relative lazy.

A RAMDisk does not need to seek, and by this, it can read and write the same data to upon 30-60 times faster than a hard disk! However, the data stored in RAM is «volatile»: it disappears when you cut off the power to the RAM memory, in other words, if you turn off your system. This applies to the content of the RAMDisk too !

Ability to save the content to an image file on disk at shutdown and at regular intervals or at particular times. Only new/changed content on the ramdisk is saved.
Immediately accessible for User Services and Programs at boot time. Because of the built in disk format routines and the built in load of the image file, the ramdisk drive is already fully accessible at the bootstage where Services and automatically started programs are launched.
