Ramdisk
The RAM disk is volatile memory space set aside for temporary data storage. It is the Z drive shown in the My Computer window.
The following items are stored on the RAM disk:
• Browser Web page cache | • | Temporary Internet files | |
• | Browser history | • | Print spooling |
• | Browser cookies | • | User/system temporary files |
•Browser cache
The RAM disk also may be used for temporary storage of other data (e.g., roaming profiles) at the administrator’s discretion (see “Local Drives” in “Utilities and Settings”).
Use the Ramdisk Configuration dialog box (see Figure 14) to configure the RAM disk size. If you change the size of the RAM disk, you will be prompted to restart for changes to take effect, but to permanently save the change be sure that the write filter cache has been flushed during the current boot session before restarting.
