RDP25

Speed up web browsing, applications,and productivity with our 4-day $25 off RamDisk Plus coupon code and experience speed improvements Raxco customer Albert describes:

"The reason I decided to purchase RDP was that it greatly improved my Internet experience. Browsing the web turned to be much smoother. Somehow both new pages and cashed, previously visited, pages loaded much faster. I really expected that only cached pages would be displayed more quickly. Also, video streaming from news sites like Bloomberg.com was way smoother than It used to be in my notebook. I use RDP in a Sony Vaio with an older intel P8400 2.26GHz Core2 Duo processor and 3GB of RAM. I've set up RDP as a 250MB (R:) unit to which I pointed the Internet data.." - Albert S.

Employees in most companies use email, spreadsheets, documents and a variety of applications in an average work day. Many of us rely on the Internet for research, social media management, and communication. Nothing is worse than a slow-loading web page or download that kills productivity in the moment.

How much do you rely on the Internet from 9-5?

Most Raxco customers who are using RamDisk Plus have found that their Internet browsing experience is much faster and smoother than it was before they changed the location of their browser cache to a RAM disk created with RamDisk Plus. Benefits noticed include:
+ Smoother web browsing
+ Faster-loading web pages
+ Smoother video streaming
+ Faster downloading

Here's how you can speed up your Internet browsing and downloading, in three easy steps:

Step 1: Download RamDisk Plus (Free 14-Day Trial)

Step 2: Create a RAM Disk

Step 3: Point Your Browser Cache to the RAM Disk Created in Step 2

Pointing your browser cache to a RAM disk speeds up web browsing and keeps your Internet history secure. Your browser cache is automatically wiped clean upon browser exit (if you check the “Zero contents” option when creating the RAM disk) and/or at shutdown (if you do not check the “Save at system shutdown” option when creating the RAM disk).

Coupon expires Monday, October 15, 2012 11:59pm EST. Coupon valid on RamDisk Plus licenses only.

    Having an SSD and > 4GB RAM makes the case for a RAM disk rather less compelling than it used to be.

    Having a local caching proxy server makes the case for Raxco RAMDisk Plus superfluous. Try Squid-NT.

    I fail to see how a RAM disk helps in speeding up streaming and downloading. Any well-written client will cache the contents in RAM before displaying on screen or writing to disk.

    Windows has RAM disk cache built in. Here is a free tool to manipulate its size: AnalogX CacheBooster. Here is a short intro about it.

    If the main point of this disk software is only to speed up a browser, then it's possibly nothing more than a massive ripoff.

    I've been using a ram cache with firefox for quite some time now, and setting it up was pretty straightforward.

    I can't be sure as I have never tried, but I'd reckon there's a reasonable chance the same sort of thing could be achieved with other browsers too, just a matter of googling it and finding out how.

    Wow, I only just checked the link and price - 70 plus bucks for something that can be achieved in seconds for free. This is quite the bargain…

    Asrock has a free ramdisk program for their motherboards called XFast RAM. So no need to pay for a ramdisk if you've got an Asrock motherboard.

    One place where a RAM disk would be useful is Media Centre's Live TV watching. For some reason, MS decided to, whether you want it or not, to trash the hard-disk (c:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\TempRec) as a Live TV Pause Buffer. Trashing a RAM is less harmful.

    Gee I thought ramdisk came with the OS. But apparently not any more!

    (From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_drive:)
    Microsoft added a RAM drive to MS-DOS (version 2.0) in 1983. Originally named VDISK.SYS and later replaced by RAMDRIVE.SYS, it was discontinued in Windows 7.
