Product Description:

Ram Disk Creator is a tool to create Ram Disks. This feature was available in Mac OS 9 and below, but since Apple released Mac OS X this capability, unfortunately, disappeared from our Macs. Ram Disk Creator brings them back!
It's pretty straight forward to figure out whether using a RAM disk is worth it. A ram disk offers the possibility to have the FASTEST DISK your Mac could ever have. Therefore it's the best solution for applications which require frequent disk accesses.
Moreover Ram Disk are very useful for Powerbooks and iBooks because using a Ram Disk instead of the hard disk means using MUCH less power, therefore dramatically increase battery life. For instance a Powerbook can play 2 hours DivX by placing the movie on a ram disk because there will be only few disk accesses.

What's new in this version:

Possibility to mount the ram disk at any path.
New software update.
Memory leak fixed.
Mac OS X Sever compatibility improved.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS 10.3 or higher

wrong promise "can play 2 hours DivX" - Version: 1.0.1, 5/14/2007 01:35PM PST

whatever this promise might mean, i have copied an .avi-movie on the ram-disk and had to mention that the hard-drive-access, using the activity-monitor, was the same than watching it from the hard-drive by itself. guess it will be the same with whatever movie-format. so what for?

i was suspicious because the application DockFun from the same company is so far ok, but has seldom an update and a little bit arrogant support or feedback.

they make money and are not a reason for a lot of fun there at Donelleschi.

I ran this program doing some photoshop benchmarks; when I went to quit the program, it needed to eject the ramdisk from my desktop. Somehow, this managed to "eject" all the files on my desktop, DELETING THEM ALL.
