![]() With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache. (Order from superiors, protect the database, backup it 20 times a day ). But even if its true, copying was faster and total time decreased about 15 seconds.Įven there was no real-life experience difference, ramdisk was at least successful at protecting SSD life for me as I did this operation about 10 or 20 times a day. There was not so much difference as 5 seconds may be lost due to fragmenting or other things I didn't controlled. Then copied it to the storage drive at a speed of 70 mb/s. Started uncompressing at a speed of 80 mb/s (cpu or hdd had stuck at its limit it seems.). Second I set temp file to my SSD,logged off then login again. Then copied it to storage hdd at a speed of 130 mb/s. I unzipped the file at a speed of 80-110 mb/s (core i7 3700 non o.c.) to ramdisk. The source file was on a conventional HDD, its size was 2.gb compressed, and 4 gb un compressed.Īt first I set the temp variables to ramdisk. I remembered nearly everything wrong sorry. But at real life, It really differs at the time to uncompress data at a 1.5 or 2x ratio.Ĭlick to expand.Here I made a real life testing : Also please note the ramdisk mb/s values may be much more than that I write, as I can not remember them. At this point I'm not even talking about my SSD's life expectancy which degrades with each 6 gb file write and deletion. The larger the file gets, the time difference is also getting more. If I use a ramdisk, the file is expanded to ramdisk at a speed of 800 mb/s, then copied to storage at a speed of 100-130 mb/s. Then it copies the file to storage at a speed of 80-120 mb/s. If I use 7-zip to uncompress a file to that drive, first 7-zip opens the file to my primary ssd (where temp folder was set) at a speed of 150 mb/s. Oh, and RAMdisk works exceptionally well with 7-zip, if user temp variables directed to ramdisk.Īs an example, I use 1 hdd (conventional hdd) for storage which is about 1.5 tb. It is painful to do zero writes each time manually before turning the computer off. None can make zero-writes on the fly (Which I can not understand.). This is why it must be selective.Īlso only program I can find can wipe data from a hdd requires manual operation. The only thing left for me is to find a program that can make zero writes while os is deleting files on the fly for a selected drive.Īs I'm using SSD's mostly, making zero writes non-selective on drives will lower the life expectancy for SSD's. I verified my theory successfully with zero write to empty space on ramdisk. And even with 9gb ramdisk I always have more than 5 gb of free ram left available which is more than my needs. I'm mostly zipping and unzipping files larger than 6 gb for archieving. They can include it as an option as well in future.ĭoes any body know any program which zeroes all deleted sectors for a selected drive on the fly? So adding a security software which zeroes all sectors belonged to deleted files are required to use NTFS compression with dataram ramdisk software. ![]() And while saving they were processed as well. I believe even an empty ramdisk was like truly a harddrive, so even if I delete files the remains were always left on the disk. ![]() But even 7-zip can not compress the file under 5 gb. I tried creating a new folder with compression turned on and resaving to this folder, but It still took 5 gb.Īs a last resort to see if the file was compressed I tried to recompress it with 7-zip on maximum compression settings. I tried reformatting the ramdisk but an empty ramdisk took about 5 gb neverthless. I noticed the ramdisk image file saved in the compressed folder was 5 gb (actual size on disk). Today, out of nowhere, turn off times of the computer raised about 40 seconds. As the ramdisk was mostly empty, computer had no difficulty with compressing the ramdisk to a 36 mb (actual size on disk) file in NTFS compressed folder in 2 or 3 seconds. I used dataram's save ramdisk to file option to a folder with NTFS compression turned on in my SSD drive.Īt first things were beatiful. As the temp files took more than 4.5 gb per file for me, I formatted it with NTFS. With registered dataram ramdisk utility, I created 9gb of ramdisk. ![]()
