4.8 ROG RAMDisk

RAMDisk is a data-storage software that reserves a part of your system’s memory and turns

it into a high-speed virtual drive where you can store cache les and game apps for instant

access. The ROG RAMDisk also allows you to automatically backup, update, and restore

les.

RAMDisk only supports 64-bit OS.

The following folders are not suitable for RAMDisk optimization. Moving them into the

RAMDisk might negatively affectm the performance of your system.

•

Swap le/Page le: The swap le is a permanent storage space used as the virtual

memory expansion of the system memory. Moving the swap le into the RAM

Disk simply defects the whole purpose of having it and may affect your system’s

performance.

•

Startup folders: Since RAMDisk loads during boot up together with the contents of

the Junction folders, changing the location of the startup folders may cause system

error and disable loading your RAMDisk.

To launch RAMDisk, click .

Creating/Deleting a RAMDisk drive

Your RAMDisk drive allows you to place your favorite applications and les into RAM so you
