Ram for RAMDisk

[SomethingEat]

Hey! what type of ram would be best to get best performance out of ram disk software, and just out of curioucity didnt anyone of you guys used ramdisk to have run battlefield4, and how much faster is it?

[Askew]

What are you going to use the RAMDisk for?

Ram disks are pretty pointless outside bragging rights, imo.

just to get faster loading times in battlefield 4  :wub:

They're unstable, and limit how much ram you can use in-game. I tried using one with portal 2 and ksp, and there was only a few seconds' difference.

 i got to ssd in raid 0 right now, and they are ok but if i can get something faster i would, but dont really want to spend any money if its just a gimmick

Raid 0 SSDs should be plenty and you get the benefit of not having a volatile storage solution. I used some excess ram as a ramdisk before and while the numbers slapped my SSD around like no ones business, it wasn't very practical.

I used a RAM disc with BF3 a couple times. Load times were super fast compared to my Seagate harddrive. But if you already have Raid 0 SSDs its honestly not worth the trouble. 

 

But if you really want to do it go ahead! Any 1600Mhz ram should be more than enough. I found that there was little difference between 1333mhz and 1600mhz ram. Just get the cheapest you can, RAM is expensive right now.

thanks guys!!

Loading times in ESO is around 60 secs so yeah faster storage is welcome.
