GiMeSpace RAM Folder Pro 2.1.2

GiMeSpace RAM Folder Pro makes it possible to assign folders that will only store files in the RAM memory instead of on your disk as well as providing a safe write caching for file writes. So it combines the best of both RAM disk and disk caching programs but with minimal overhead making this program even faster than those programs.

What is the use of this?
- The windows temporary folder is usually full of needless files that keep piling up wasting you disk space. This program can keep all of them in RAM and discard them when no longer needed.
- By assigning as specific folder as a RAM folder you get file access that is as fast as your RAM access which can greatly speedup certain programs. Because it has much smaller overhead, this program is even a little faster than the fastest RAM disk programs.
- Excess disk writes on a SSD disk can wear out the disk over time. This program can help you extend the life time of a SSD disk by avoiding disk writes.
- Some programs use your disk as external memory even if you have enough RAM available. Examples are audio/video editors and many other programs that use a lot of memory. This program will instead use your RAM and avoids needless disk access while at the same time speeding up these programs because RAM is much faster than even the fastest SSD.
- This program can even use the VRAM of your dedicated graphics card to store files making sure you use all the fast storage memory that is available in your system.

The Pro version has a special option to enable smart write caching on a folder. This means that files in those folders will be written to the disk once the program has finished with them. This is useful when you want to accelerate heavy file IO and avoid needless disk access. Windows read cache is already very good, but the native Windows write cache is very conservative, always trying to write data to files as soon as possible. This a safer and faster alternative to the native Windows write cache.
