DiskBoost accelerates hard drive operations via a virtual RAM disk. The software maintains a high-speed virtual disk in RAM, enabling faster storage retrieval and computer optimization by holding frequently accessed data and files.
One of the key advantages of DiskBoost is that it supports both volatile and non-volatile RAM drives. Volatile disks disappear when you reboot or turn off your PC, along with any data stored on them. Non-volatile permanent disks, on the other hand, back up the data onto the hard drive. These two kinds of disks serve different purposes, and DiskBoost allows you to choose the right one for your needs.
For example, if you have any data that is temporary by nature, such as internet cache, browsing history, cookies, and similar traces, you can simply move the Temporary Internet Files folder onto a RAM disk using DiskBoost. This disk will disappear completely and without leaving any traces when you reboot your PC, saving you the hassle of periodic cleanings.
For work sets, databases, or frequently accessed files that you cannot afford to lose, DiskBoost offers a perfect opportunity to speed up access dramatically while maintaining the same level of safety and greater security. It automatically backs up the contents of the RAM drive into a file on your hard disk periodically and on system shutdown, taking care of the data integrity.
If you're running a busy server or workstation, you can even map the entire hard drive partition into the computer's RAM using DiskBoost. This offers tremendous performance benefits under heavy load while maintaining the safety and security of your data.
If you're dealing with sensitive information, DiskBoost has you covered too. It encrypts everything stored on the RAM drives on-the-fly, making your data impossible to intercept and unusable if accessed without authorization. Hard disk images can also be encrypted, making the virtual partitions impossible to mount without a password.
Finally, DiskBoost works transparently and automatically as a low-level system device. It mounts the RAM drives when your system boots, giving you an immediate performance boost. If you're looking for software that can speed up hard drive operations and improve your computer's efficiency, DiskBoost is an excellent choice.
