4: Depends on our OS but on windows I used ImDisk then set the transcoding directory in settings. Those same settings are how you'd set it to a dedicated disk as well. Source: 7 months ago
Since I have 128GB of ram, https://i.imgur.com/CkBzNvS.png I like to shove my games into ram and load them very fast. Up until a few days ago it was working for RUST, but now it doesn't work any more because of EAC. On normal nvme ssd I can load into a 5k map in about good 5 minutes, but on a ram drive, I was able to load into a 5k map in a minute or two. You can check out imdisk-toolkit and a basic video on it... Source: 10 months ago
If your server is hosted on Windows you can use any RAMdisk software. I use ImDisk Toolkit. Set up a RAM disk to launch at Windows startup, set the drive letter, and in your Plex server settings > Transcoder (enable advanced settings), set your transcoder directory to the RAMdisk.

I encountered something similar with brand new, perfect looking discs (2 of the 3 in a set). I used the free program ImDisk (https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/) to create an ISO image of the problem discs and then opened the ISOs with MakeMKV. I was then able to rip the contents. Source: over 1 year ago

Interesting, I just checked 128GB RAM disk using ImDisk application, with "Allocate Memory Dynamically" option off, default cluster size of 4k. The numbers are not so impressive. Namely,. Source: almost 2 years ago
Something to consider if a thing is writing large amounts of temp files - setup a ram disk and point the process there or setup a symbolic link to it. Ram disk is always going to be faster than a physical drive - and if SSDs are being used it'll save the write ware on them. Source: almost 2 years ago

There are many tools for the job, but I personally prefer the open source ImDisk Toolkit - it can allocate memory dynamically, don't have limits on disk size, and also has shortcuts to move Windows' temporary folders to the newly created disk. Source: almost 2 years ago

This is where Plex generates the file it's transcoding to for the client to then stream. I use the ImDisk Toolkit to create a 4GB RAM drive as 'R:' then point the above setting to use R: as it's cache location. Source: over 2 years ago
First, you gotta have excess RAM. I have 64 GB. Second, get some software to make the RAM drive. I used this, made a 17 GB RAM drive. Next, make a directory on the RAM drive called "MSFScache" or something like that, then launch MSFS, go to the data settings in MSFS, and set the rolling cache to the directory you just created. I used a 16GB size for my rolling cache. Source: over 2 years ago

You'll need a RAMdisk creator. Which one you get doesn't matter much, because we don't need fast I/O. I use ImDisk Toolkit. Install the creator and proceed. Reminder: No matter where you get your files from, check them with your antivirus. Don't take my word for it. Source: over 2 years ago
