Of the 8 GB, you can allocate 4 GB for a RAM disk. To summarize, the best option for using a RAM disk is a laptop with a regular hard drive and 8 GB of RAM. At the time of this writing on Yandex.Market, offers were mainly for memory with a frequency of 1333-1600 MHz with a price of 22 thousand rubles per module. Secondly, finding a module with a capacity of 32 GB is still a problem. First, not all computers support 64GB of RAM. Organizing a RAM disk with such a capacity will be problematic. Let's say a 60GB SSD can be bought for about $ 60.

True, completely replacing the SSD in this way will also not work, if only because of the price.

The most logical scenario for a RAM disk is computers with regular hard drives - especially on entry-level laptops where hard drives do not perform well. Those who like to play can install their favorite toy on a RAM disk, but then the system must have more than 8 GB of RAM. You can either install applications on a RAM disk or use it to store data. With its help (if you have a sufficiently large amount of RAM), you can speed up your computer (a disk in memory is faster than an SSD) or Live USB (the idea is the same as with Search), and extend the life of a hard disk / SSD. It turned out that the RAM disk is still relevant now. After loading the image into memory, all DOS utilities were loaded from this RAM disk, and not from a floppy disk, thanks to which the old 'Search' worked much faster and the floppy disks themselves were worn out less. The boot was performed from a floppy disk when loaded into memory, a RAM disk was used (an image with DOS software). I remember about seventeen years ago I created disks in memory to speed up the work of the old Search, which worked without hard disks. While writing this article, it was difficult for me to shake off the feeling of déjà vu. But what if you can't use it? Or maybe you already have a solid state drive and want to save another second or two while reducing disk wear and tear? In this case, you should experiment with a RAM disk - launching applications directly from an image in RAM. You probably know that the easiest way to get such a boost is to buy an SSD. If you often switch between a large number of applications and files, then a few seconds of difference at startup is far from a trifle. Optimizing Windows by leveraging the RAM disk
