To protect the security of files/data, I have always found it preferable to hide and/or set an access password for a partition rather than to encrypt the partition or an entire hard disk. The reasons are: 1) The performance and efficiency of reading/writing encrypted files are extremely low; 2) As far as I know, although an encrypted file is hard to crack, it is the most likely to happen and the most deadly for users to forget their encryption key – there is no solution at all; 3) In fact, even if you just hide one partition without password protection, few people would expect you to protect your private data in this way.

[v4.4] SoftPerfect RAM Disk – Create super fast RAM disk for any temporary data

Computer users who have a little extra money or are willing to cost input on hardware probably have installed and are running their operating systems on a solid-state drive (SSD), in order to gain a better PC performance and user experience. However, SSD has a fatal drawback – it can not write frequently, otherwise the disk life can be significantly shortened. As a result, virtualizing the physical memory as RAM disk became popular. Without exaggeration, RAM disk can be twice as fast as the top-of-the-line SSD and 10 times of the fastest HDD at least!

[v10.5, v10.4] Symantec Encryption Desktop – PGP Desktop’s successor

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is currently the best and most popular data (including texts, e-mails, files, directories, partitions, and whole disk) signing, encrypting, and decrypting program, developed by Phil Zimmermann in 1991. Its source code is open, and it has withstood the challenges from thousands of top hackers around the world. It turns out that PGP is still the most secure encryption software in the world for now (until the popularity of quantum computers, I think). Without a password, no one can decrypt the data encrypted with it!

[v4.5] VSuite Ramdisk – Surprisingly speed up your computer

VSuite Ramdisk is an excellent virtual memory disk creation software developed by Romex Software from France – the same author of Primo Ramdisk, designed to provide users with effective solutions to hard disk performance bottlenecks. It uses physical memory to virtualize a completely equivalent physical hard disk, which can greatly improve the reading/writing speed of files on the hard disk, and reduce the actual access times to the hard disk, thus extending the life of hard disk.

[v6.3.1] Primo Ramdisk – Most powerful ramdisk (virtual memory disk) emulator

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.

[v5.xx] Hidden Disk – Creates a password-protected hidden disk

The biggest trouble with working or studying on a public computer is that there will always be people who will look into and even steal, delete your important documents, materials and data without permission, some of which may even involve personal privacy and trade secrets. In this case, you can use Hidden Disk to create a virtual, encrypted drive (you need a password to access it) that can be hidden at will to solve this problem perfectly.

[v7.x] Gilisoft RAMDisk – Boost performance and speed up access to data

Because physical memory performs operations much, much faster than hard disk, RAM disk can greatly improve application performance. Given that large capacity memory is now widely available and mostly idle, so we can use software like GiliSoft RAMDisk to create free memory as virtual hard drives for use, thus increasing the running speed of software or system many times.
