First of all, AppNee wants everyone to know three facts about RAM:

  1. The capacity of single memory bank is getting bigger and bigger (8 GB of RAM is already ubiquitous)
  2. The read/write speed of almost any RAM can reach more than 4 GB/s, but even the top-level, fastest SSD can only stay in the unit calculated in MB (may be 500 MB/s or less)
  3. A large proportion of the memory capacity is in the idle state (wasted in vain)

Therefore, we can use some Ramdisk (AKA: RAM drive) software to drain the idle memory capacity, in order to improve the system performance crazily – play to their extreme.

[v28.0] O&O Defrag – Efficient and high-powered HDD & SSD defragmenter

When you’ve tried many ways to clean up and optimize your Windows system, but have seen no obvious results (system or program launches and runs slowly, or even crashes easily), do remember to perform defragmentation to your disk, then everything may be fine. As we all know, there have been so many free or commercial disk defragment software, such as Diskeeper, PerfectDisk, Contig, JkDefrag, UltimateDefrag, Defraggler and Ashampoo Magical Defrag.

[v13.0] SSD Fresh – Fast optimize your SSD performance with one-click

Solid-state drives (SSD) have obvious advantages than the traditional mechanical hard disk drives (HDD), but do not mistakenly believe that an SSD does not need optimization. However, for the optimization of SSD, many users may just know one optimization setting – a new SSD should be formatted with 4K alignment. In fact, SSD actually has a lot of places that can be optimized for making its speed faster and service life longer.

[v5.37] Victoria – Professional hard disk bad track scanner & repairer

Bad sector (bad track) is one of the most common failures of mechanical hard disk (HDD), which usually characterizes hard disk reads/writes slow, system prompts “… I/O error”, program gives “cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error”, etc. In these cases, we need use some specially designed tools to correctly detect whether our hard disk has had bad sectors or not, and nip in the bud.

[v4.3] PrimoCache – Accelerate all kinds of storage devices

PrimoCache (formerly called FancyCache) is a very useful Cache Disk program, developed by Romex Software from China. As opposed to virtual memory, it virtualizes the idle space of physical memory, SSD hard drive, or flash drive on your computer into the cache space of your HDD hard drive, making your computer run faster. In other words, it can store the data that needs to be read frequently in the hard disk into a faster storage device such as physical memory, thus effectively improving the performance of the physical hard drive.

TxBENCH – Better benchmark software for storage devices

When it comes to hard disk performance testing, AS SSD Benchmark and CrystalDiskMark/CrystalDiskInfo must be the first things you can think of. What AppNee wants to tell you is that they are just popular tools, not the best. If what you need is a real professional hard disk performance testing tool, then TxBENCH is one of them, whose existence is earlier than AS SSD Benchmark, but it is little known because of its low profile.
