ISO format, which can be useful when a particular CD is used often and the speed of access is important. OSFMount supports mounting images of CDs in. At the time of writing, we believe this is the fastest RAM drive software available. A second benefit is security, as the disk contents are not stored on a physical hard disk (but rather in RAM) and on system shutdown the disk contents are not persistent. As such this is useful with applications requiring high speed disk access, such a database applications, games (such as game cache files) and browsers (cache files). This generally has a large speed benefit over using a hard disk.
OSFMount also supports the creation of RAM disks, basically a disk mounted into RAM. This stores all writes to a 'write cache' (or 'delta') file which preserves the integriy of the original disk image file. OSFMount supports mounting disk image files as read/write in 'write cache' mode. Z:).īy default, the image files are mounted as read only so that the original image files are not altered. \\.\PhysicalDrive1) or logical drive letter (eg. You can then analyze the disk image file with PassMark OSForensics™ by using the physical disk name (eg. OSFMount allows you to mount local disk image files (bit-for-bit copies of an entire disk or disk partition) in Windows as a physical disk or a logical drive letter.
