Personal Benchmark Examples: Samsung 840 EVO 250gb vs 8GB RAMDisk Partition

[myxomatosii]

For the reasons mentioned above is why I plan to post a second benchmark using an offline game.

One on Steam that I already own, and that has notorious load times preferably.

I thought zoning had to do with the 6 second pulse cycle (maybe that was just hearsay/misinformation).

On GNU/Linux you can set up a RAM partition via the following (assume you're root):

mkdir -p /mnt/ramdisk
echo 'none /mnt/ramdisk ramfs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,noauto,shared 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

Then mount via:

mount /mnt/ramdisk

A lot of the modern distros also set up /mnt/tmp as a ram partition now also (in /etc/fstab it should look like):

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

In both cases 50% of your total machine RAM will be available.

Then just copy the files there and run out of that directory.

You can also record it for free via ffmpeg (you can use ffmpeg to record your active X server).
