This USB drive is a waste of money. I bought it thinking I would be able to use it as an external volatile RAM disk. I wanted to put a 2 gigabyte file on the USB drive so I could access it very fast. My laptop only has 2 gigabyte memory. The best I could get was 764mb of my own laptop’s memory, and I could have done that with free software from the net anyway.

In reply to sqgl.

Perhaps you missed these statements…

“that uses PC memory to significantly improve performance”

“Using memory, most commonly refered to as ram disks, to improve system performance is not new by any means, however, lack of simplicity has kept this from becoming popular.”

In reply to Jon. The implication is that the DRAM lives on the pendrive but it does not (and cannot at that price). Ultimately it is only partially faster than a regular thumbdrive. Misleading marketing.

I have
an ASUS Zen Ultrabook i7 with 4GB on board RAM with USB3 (windows7). When away
from the office I am frequently running 3D software packages such as 3D Rhino,
which are RAM hungry at times. To speed things up significantly would the USB
3.0 Express Dram?Disk
be of any benefit to me and if so what size (as I only have 4Gb on board and there is some sort of ratio which I don’t understand either) – when rhino is open I have 40% left – work files are usually in the region of 250-500mb. Is the work files that I would be synchronizing?
any feedback would be appreciated
