With RAMDisk you can use your RAM as a folder, maximizing speed and disk longevity.
Ramdisks are shared with all users and use a minimal amount of RAM needed to store your files.
In rare cases, when RAM is scarce, RAMDisk will utilize the swap partition to store new files.
All files disappear at shutdown!
