    Question Gigabyte GC-Ramdisk i-Ram won't initialise on Windows XP ?

    Hello All! I have an old (2005) Windows XP based machine that I use to play games of that period. Recently, I was given a 4GB Gigabyte GC-Ramdisk PCI card for free, and I thought I'd see if it made a difference in my XP system. I have installed it. The status lights on the card show that the...

    Question Are ramdisks now slow than NVME SSDS?

    Ramdisks usually have a better limitations in theory, but it seems that ramdisks are as slow as nvme drives. A good example is looking up ramdisk on google and finding really low gb/s reads and writes. Up to 4 - 7GB. My question is are they really slow? Especially using Linux and in dual...

    Question How can I boost ramdisk speed?

    Hello, I currently want to know how to boost my RamDisk speed on Linux. I picked Linux since it has two ram functions builtin to the operating system. TMPFS and RAMFS. I have used the ramfs filesystem a while back on ddr4-3200mhz ram, and although fast, I would say speeds were comparable to...

    Question Convert a PCI RAMDISK to a Portable USB Drive ?

    I have an old Gigabyte GC-RAMDISK that I wanted to get some use out of again but since it uses legacy PCI instead of PCIe, I can't really use it on any modern PC I have. So I was wondering if it'd be possible to convert it into a portable USB drive? The Ramdisk only uses the PCI slot for power...

    Question Is the Gigabyte iRAM Ramdisk compatible with DDR1 server RAM?

    I recently just acquired one of those old Gigabyte PCI Ramdisks and I've seen some sources say those only support a max of 4 GB of RAM because DDR1 dimms maxed out at 1 GB. However, I just learned that there are 2 GB dimms for DDR1 but they're ECC server RAM. I couldn't find any documentation on...

    Question Is it possible to use RAM cache of a RAID controller as a RAM disk?

    I saw that some types of PCIe RAID controllers have slots for RAM and a battery backup for that RAM. I know this is meant to be used a read/write cache but is it also possible to somehow use that RAM cache as a hardware RAM disk? There used to be PCI RAM disk cards that would do something...

    Question Why is a traditional RAMDisk faster than a GPU RAMDisk?

I also later created a 4 GB RAM Drive using AMD's Radeon RamDisk software. Using CrystalDiskMark6, I ran benchmarks on both RAM Drives as well as my main Samsung 850...
