ImDisk Toolkit is a powerful RAM disk management tool designed for the Windows operating system. It can create and manage virtual disks that can be stored in the computer’s memory, enabling extremely fast read and write speeds. The author is Olof Lagerkvist,

Known issues w77
-
Dynamic ramdisks do not work properly when they are mounted on a folder instead of a drive letter, and if you don’t use the TRIM commands (TRIM commands are used by default with NTFS on Windows 7 and later).
-
Some softwares are incompatible with ImDisk volumes. This comes from the driver that creates only simple volumes that are not handled by the disk manager. They will not fix this.
-
Some users experience issues with Windows Update. If you have volumes mounted on A: or B:, try to move them after C:. If a ramdisk contains the Temp folder, using a junction may also fix issues (see “Set TEMP Variables…”).
