A RAM drive (also called a RAM disk) is a block of random-access memory (primary storage or volatile memory) that a computer's software treats as if the memory were a hard disk drive or solid-state drive (secondary storage). RAM drives provide high-performance temporary storage for demanding tasks and protect non-volatile storage devices from wearing down, since RAM is not prone to wear from writing, unlike non-volatile flash memory as used in solid-state drives.
