What it does

RAM Disk creates a disk in computer memory. This can boost performance, prolong SSD life, reduce HDD fragmentation, and eliminate clutter of temporary files.

SoftPerfect RAM Disk is a high-performance RAM disk application that lets you have a disk on your computer stored entirely in its memory. As the memory is much faster than physical hard disks, storing temporary data on a fast in-memory disk achieves a higher performance. Whatever your job is, read on to find out what a RAM disk can offer you. SoftPerfect RAM Disk creates a virtual disk residing in the computer RAM accessible in Windows Explorer and other applications, allowing you to store any temporary information on this disk. Furthermore, Windows can be configured to use the RAM disk for temp files, so that the system and most other applications would use the fast in-memory disk for…from softperfect.com

    Hi, I have developed a new technology to storage data in computer hard drive. It does have a native compression method that is transparent to OS and makes disk access faster than traditional SSD. It is enabled by some math formulas combined with existing programming principles. A practical implementation has been done in a windows virtual driver. As an example: You can create a virtual machine disk and install a 10GB Windows while in physical storage it only costs a few hundred megabytes, 100MB, 300MB depending on optimization. This short storage allow for memory caching making access way…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
