Games run more smoothly from a RAM disk too, although coaxing Steam titles into working with a RAM disk is a bit of a hassle, and storing a whole game in a virtual drive requires a big chunk of memory.
For example, moving Word, Excel, Firefox, and Acrobat off of my laptop’s 7200-rpm hard drive and onto a RAM disk resulted in the apps’ loading nearly twice as quickly, rivaling the opening speeds on an SSD-especially when opening large files. The biggest everyday performance gains occur when you fully install a program on a RAM disk. That makes a RAM disk a wonderful tool for hastening operations in which your machine must read and write a lot of data, such as media encoding or editing large batches of photos. RAM disk read/write speeds blow away the speeds of even top-of-the-line SSDs.
