So I was just reading some tips for RealBench 2.0 where they suggested installing and running RealBench on RamDisk. Does this apply to all benchmarking software and is there any noticable difference? I haven't setup RamDisk before so not really familiar with it.

I believe RAMDisk just gives a designation to an allocation of your RAM and allows you to use that designated bit as storage space. Not worth it, keep benchmarking on the SSD.

Say hi to the next generation.

Please explain to us, exactly how you came to this assumption that a RAMDIsk is not worth it?

Because you are benchmarking based on the RAM memory being used for storage space. Most high-end SSDs are faster than RAM drives.

Really? most SSD's are faster than RAM drives huh? so umm....care to explain this then?

That's my Corsair Neutron 128GB Vs a 4GB RAMDisk. The RAM is nothing fancy, just Corsair XMS3 running @ 1600, timings are 9-9-9-24 @ 1.65V

Where did you get the "RoG" version of crystalmark?

ASUS Website, found in the downloads section of the RAIDR Express 😉

Each person has unique needs and wants, for some applications such as image rendering a ramdisk is a huge boon. For others it is less so.

Most certainly a ramdisk will out perform a single SSD. For benchmarks and similar I do not think it is worth the effort.

To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

I agree with Viz. Ram will definitely run circles around any SSD, but running a bench software from it does very little to no good. I have tried...

Should you benchmark on RamDisk or SSD?
