Sorry for the late reply. I actually wanted to spend some time using the Ram Disk option first to see how it was. I love it for my most main used programs. Now it only really benefits you if you have 16 or more GB of Ram. From the site, there's a promo and a contest right now running til end of December....
It's never been easier to save and win with Radeon™ memory. Enjoy your discounted copy of 32GB Radeon™ RAMDisk using Discount Code SAVE52WIN and you will automatically be entered into the contest with an eligible email address for your chance to win 1 of 5 prize packs valued at over $300USD. 20 secondary prizes will also be awarded. For more information please view the Contest Rules.
Radeon™ RAMDisk Benefits:
Reduced Volatility: Secure your data or protect your privacy - Create a RAMDisk with settings to suit your needs.
(there is a lot of tweakable feature here, over and above the freeware you can find out there.)
Beyond Performance: Tap into the full potential of your memory and experience faster loading and saving of your favorite software applications.
With having thousands of fonts now , due to the vinyl business, my Photshop was getting slow to load ( the type tool text portion) I run it now in Ramdisk and it opens instantly)
Seamless Experience: Easily create the ultimate virtual disk drive, with easy to follow prompts to get you up and running quickly and smoothly.
I've allocated 4GB as a scratch disk for my AE renders. I have found it to cut about 25% off my rendering time then going directly to SSD. That would mean like a 75% time saving over writing to a traditional HDD if you are one of those.
One caveat is...anything that you do in there will save to you hard drive on shut down. So depending on the speed of your system, size of data and such, you could have a 1-5 minute delay before you comp actually shuts off. Doesn't really matter when you're shutting down anyhow. I've seen little to no slow down on boot up. Maybe 2 or 3 seconds extra, tops. It will then load up your allocated programs after the system is up.
I think it's worth it , especially if you are sitting on 32 or more GB ram. Nice thing is you can turn it off if you are doing something intensive that you want all your available ram for.
