Most disks or volumes are backed by some sort of permanent storage such as magnetic hard disks, flash memory, or optical discs. When the computer is shut down, the data on these volumes will still persist as it has been written to permanent storage. However, a RAM disk is different in that it has no permanent storage behind it. As a result, all data on the RAM disk is stored only in your Mac's RAM and is forgotten at shutdown.
RAM disks are incredibly fast, in fact, they are the fastest disks you can possibly have without spending a lot of money on a RAID. They are perfect for tasks that require fast read and write speeds and where you don't need to keep the data around for long periods.
Make RAM Disk is ideal for iShowU temp files as well as a download holding area. You can also make use of it for storing your Xcode build folder. Additionally, it's great for putting your downloads folder in Safari, Mail, or Adium since you won't always want to keep downloaded items around.
