Because RAM is volatile memory, it loses its data when the power is cut. However, because RAM has read/write speeds measured in gigabytes per second—far exceeding even the fastest NVMe SSDs—it creates a virtual drive that offers near-instantaneous data access.
QSOFT ceased active public development around 2019, but version 5.3.2.14 remains legal to use if you hold an Enterprise license. A single license covers one physical server or workstation. The software is not open source. Be wary of "cracked" versions on torrent sites—these often contain rootkits. Legitimate licenses can still be purchased via resellers or archive.org's software preservation collection (for legacy support). QSOFT Ramdisk Enterprise 5.3.2.14
When the OS writes a file to the virtual drive created by QSOFT, the driver does not send that request to a SATA or NVMe controller. Instead, it writes the bits directly into the allocated address space of the system RAM. The latency difference is microseconds versus milliseconds—a massive scaling factor in computing terms. Because RAM is volatile memory, it loses its
