About Hardware DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz [Disk]

DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz is a high-speed RAM module designed for use in modern laptops with a small form factor (SO-DIMM). With an effective frequency of up to 3200MHz, this module delivers higher bandwidth and better power efficiency compared to previous generations, such as DDR3. These DDR4 modules are perfect for heavy multitasking, large application processing, and light gaming on portable devices.

In this test, the 3200MHz DDR4 SODIMM module was configured as a RAMDisk, which is a super-fast storage system that utilizes part of the RAM capacity to serve as an ultra-high-speed virtual drive. Using a RAMDisk allows for much faster file access than an SSD, making it an ideal solution for data caching, temporary file processing or extreme I/O testing. Despite its temporary nature (data is lost when the computer is shut down or restarted), its performance advantage is felt in certain scenarios such as fast rendering, program compilation, or storage benchmarks.

The test was conducted on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM in a dual channel configuration (8GB V-GeN + 4GB onboard Micron), and Windows 11 22H2 operating system. The 2GB RAMDisk was created using SoftPerfect RAMDisk and ImDisk Virtual Disk applications, two popular software for managing RAM-based virtual storage.

The benchmark results showed very impressive performance: CrystalDiskMark recorded read speeds of 7844.91 MB/s and write speeds of 12726.74 MB/s, while in ATTO Disk Benchmark (64MB block size), read speeds reached 5740.00 MB/s and write speeds of 6020.00 MB/s. These results prove that using RAMDisk with 3200MHz DDR4 is one of the most effective ways to deliver ultra-fast storage performance in laptop systems, exceeding the speed of even NVMe SSDs in certain scenarios. With ultra-low latency and high bandwidth, 3200MHz DDR4 SODIMM-based RAMDisks are an attractive solution for users who require extreme performance for specific tasks.
