Hello. I have a few questions about Ramdisk with Dynamic Memory Management enabled:

1. Is it more CPU intensive due to the extra operations of memory allocation/release?

2. Does it put more strain/load on memory modules compared to normal (fixed space) ramdisk? Does it makes them run hotter etc. ?

3. What happens when System memory usage overlaps with DMM Ramdisk? Will I see size of Ramdisk reduced in My Computer?

I also have one question about Hybrid Disk file:

4. Does .hbd file gets erased and recreated anew every time computer restarts?

Thank You!

Yes, a little bit

No, I don't think so...The difference can be ignored.

When there is no sufficient memory for DMM ramdisks, reading or writing on these ramdisks might fail.

No. But hybrid disks don't support data persistence, so the data in .hbd files are useless after restarts.
