A RAM disk may refer to any of the following:

  1. Alternatively called a RAM drive, a RAM disk is a software-generated disk drive that stores information in computer memory rather than on a physical disk drive.

  2. RamDisk is also a software product by SuperSpeed that enables Microsoft Windows computers to increase the overall performance of the computer by creating a virtual drive in memory.
