Developer's Description

By Romex Software

Simulate hard disk using existing RAM to speed up your PC.

Equipped with the most efficient, high speed CPU, RAM, and video graphics card, users will come to expect best performance out of their computers. But the sad truth is, they aren't getting the best deal. Hard disk, which forms another crucial part of computers, still very much lag behind in terms of speed. This is because hard disk mainly relies on mechanical parts, unlike the CPUs, or RAMs, which are entirely electronics. VSuite Ramdisk is a simple-to-use solution. It employs smart software algorithm, which effectively and efficiently simulates existing RAM as a hard disk.

Not bad at all
mqc1023July 14, 2012
Pros
Works with Windows 7 professional 64 bit. Easy to use interface. Does what a RAMDISK is supposed to do. Has good options and it's not bad at all.
Cons
Boring, but can't make RAMDISKs larger than 4gb
Summary
I recommend this product. I ran videos and files with no trouble. I have a LOT of RAM (more than 16 gb) and it's a great "what do I do with all that RAM that W7 is not really going to use" solution. Make sure you have enough extra RAM as this product (like all products) has overhead. Making a RAM DISK your temp folder is tricky as some temp operations (such as web browsers) make huge amounts of temp files that can overwhelm this effort. A great use is for a test folder for applications or files you're not sure about and want to get rid of quickly by rebooting the machine.
Does not support 64bit

Pros
Can't tell. Wouldn't even install.
Cons
Does not support Win7 64bit.
Summary
I guess it's too much to ask of a free version to support 64bit, but it would have been nice for the description to mention that.
Works as documented under Windows XP Pro SP3
dmccunneyAugust 9, 2010
Pros
It installs and works as documented under Windows XP Pro SP3. It was easy to create and use a RAMDisk with an NTFS file system, and assign it a preferred drive letter. I used it to hold some frequently used console utilities and for temp files.
Cons
I have 4GB RAM, and want to use RAM above 3.5GB for the RAMDisk, with the "Use Invisible RAM" feature. It lets me enable the function, but it doesn't seem to work. This is likely a motherboard limitation, as mine only reports 3.1 GB installed.
Summary
I'm not using it at the moment, as it can't use the RAM I wanted in my installation, and I'd rather give the RAM to Windows. This is a motherboard/BIOS limitation on my end: the mobo reports only 3.1 of my 4GB to Windows. (This is documented in the motherboard manual.) Aside from that, the program installed with no problems, and was relatively simple to configure and use. I could create a 256MB RAMDisk using an NTFS file system, put small console utilities I wanted on it with a batch file run at at startup, and put browser cache and temp files there. The program also claims you can put the Windows page file on it, but I didn't try that option. Recommended for folks who want to try using a RAMdisk in Windows as a capable freeware offering.
Does what it says.

Pros
Gives you a RAM Drive, your choice of size and drive letter. Installation is relatively painless (requires admin rights). Performance seems satisfactory, able to run portable apps from RAM drive. Ability to save RAM Drive images.
Cons
Have to install and run from a user with Admin rights (but I understand why). Not as fast as expected. No command-line options.
Summary
This product creates NTFS, FAT32, or FAT formatted RAM drives instantly when you need them. Not a massive hit on memory (except for the expected RAMdrive size). You need administrative rights to install the software and to create drives, but that would be the same with any "hardware" device. I was surprised to see that the software was not as fast as a DOS ramdrive. But still I can run apps from the RAMdrive without any performance loss vs. running from my solid state drive. I would've liked to have seen some command line options so that I could script drive creation but that doesn't seem to exist. A nifty feature is that you can SAVE ramdrive images and then RELOAD them later. I haven't tried this feature though, so I can't speak about it.
Windows 32 bit support for more than 4Gb
mt68itSeptember 17, 2009
Pros
You can use RAM over 4Gb in Windows 32 systems. Before of it it was useless to install more than 3Gb (if you have a VGA card with decent memory) or at least 3,5Gb.
Cons
You cannot freeze your pc if you use ramdisk for temp files or swap (hibernation is not supported because when pc turns off, you loose all data stored in ramdisk). A little thing compared with the advantages!
Summary
I have 8Gb, Windows XP home SP3 (32 bit) and use my RAM for my swap file. It Works!!! it's great for me, beacuse I have a dual boot: XP 32 and Windows 7 64 bit. Now XP is faster
It hasn't got any problems.
