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.
Device test (testbed):
Device: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6
CPU: i5 1135G7
RAM: 12GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (8+4)
OS: Windows 11 22H2

About Hardware Kingston MicroSD 2GB
The Kingston MicroSD 1GB is a micro-sized memory card designed for portable devices such as cell phones, digital cameras, or IoT devices. With a storage capacity of 1GB, this card is suitable for storing basic files such as text documents, low-resolution photos, or a limited number of audio files. Using a standard microSD interface, the card is compatible with a wide range of devices that support microSD or SDHC formats via an adapter.
Built to withstand shock, extreme temperatures, and water exposure, the Kingston MicroSD 1GB offers reliability under diverse usage conditions. Its limited capacity makes it more suitable for legacy devices or specific projects that require minimal storage, such as embedded systems, portable music players, or as a medium for light OS installations.
Although less popular than large-capacity microSDs, these cards remain an economical solution for users looking for affordable portable storage with broad compatibility. Ideal for small backup needs or as an emergency backup on a secondary device.
This hardware test uses a card reader from VENTION with a GL3224 controller model.
