Could you give me a few of the specific problems you have ran into when setting up/ using a ram drive? Even setting up a small one and installing my internet browsers to it seems pretty beneficial


once you reset the pc your data's gone in the ram drive.
kinda a huge issue....

and how would your browser benefit? lol

Storing your cache on it makes the whole experience extremely fast. I understand it would wipe, but you can make a back up on your ssd of all the files, just set up to copy the files back over on boot

You can cache to an ssd, I don't see the gains being much better tbh.
You have a ups and if not, power failure, what then?

You wouldn't see any real world difference when caching in RAM. I know people tend to do when they have no SSD in their system. You better of buying an NVME SSD.
