ImDisk Toolkit is a software tool with which we can manage various virtual disks on a Microsoft Windows computer.
Program description
Using the program, you can easily create RAM disks that can use fast RAM as data storage space. There are also additional features, some of which we will consider in the article:
- creating RAM disks;
- mounting images;
- configure disk parameters, including size, file system, and so on;
- The automatic creation mode allows you to mount disks when the operating system starts.
This software is not guaranteed to function properly on 32 Bit operating systems. The software was tested and showed excellent performance on a PC x64 Bit.

- Click on the “Install” button and wait while the files are copied to their places.
