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.

About Hardware Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041

Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 is an 8GB eMMC storage module designed specifically for mobile devices, tablets, embedded systems, and various other compact electronic devices. Using eMMC 5.1 technology, this chip delivers balanced performance, high power efficiency, and long-term reliability in a space-saving and cost-effective package.

As an embedded storage solution, the module combines Samsung's high-quality NAND flash with an internal controller in a single BGA153 package. With the HS400 interface, the module is able to achieve data transfer rates that are capable enough to run lightweight operating systems, store application data, and handle basic file management processes. It is suitable for use in devices such as set-top boxes, Android TV, IoT devices, and light operating systems based on Linux or Android.

In tests using a FiberHome HG680-P device powered by Amlogic S905X with 2GB of RAM and AtvXperience (Android TV 6) operating system, the Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 recorded read speeds of 57.46 MB/s and write speeds of 37.79 MB/s on the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile). These figures show quite responsive performance for activities such as system booting, running light applications, and multimedia streaming.

Despite having only 8GB of capacity, this module is still relevant for scenarios that do not require large storage space, such as media players, lightweight Android-based systems, or IoT devices that perform specific functions. The lack of DRAM cache and the unstated TBW value indicate that this module is intended for light, less write-intensive workloads.

Overall, the Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 is a compact, efficient and reliable 8GB eMMC solution, ideal for embedded systems or devices with space and power constraints. For developers or system integrators who need stable performance embedded storage from a reputable brand, this eMMC is an option worth considering.
