After all ramdisks are for those with plenty of RAMĭon't assume anything because you've benchmarked one ramdisk software. It may save 100 or 200 megabyte per 10 gigabyte of files on the ramdisk when active, but with RAM being so cheap at the moment I can't see why someone would enable NTFS compression and lose performance. I found turning it off actually increases writing speeds tremendously. Also it makes quite a difference if you've got NTFS compression enabled for your ramdisk. The files I put onto my ramdisks are rarely compressible so I've set it to "100% (Incompressible)". rd-disks/1 offers some explanation.Īs far as Anvil's benchmark program is concerned, varying values are partly due to compressibility of the test files written or read. I think alignment is for those 4k drives so we can see if the first partition starts at exactly 4kbyte.
