I use this: http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk It's free and has been rock solid. It backups the data before shutdown and restores the RAMDisk with data at bootup. The only thing I do is to disable automatic startup of SBS at login so the RAMDisk can be up and running before I start SBS. Just create a RAMDisk and install your SBS to it. That's the easiest way. But make sure your cache is moved as well. You can set it manually in server.prefs. I leave server.prefs on a physical drive but everything else is on the RAMDisk. It makes a difference and if you have lots of RAM and have never seen your peak commit charge high enough to indicate its being used I see it as a free upgrade. I also have run it on MAC OSX installed on an SSD and SBS running on a RAMDisk. RAMDisk is very easy on Mac OS you can type a line in terminal (easy Google search) or there's a program that backs up and restores RAMDisk images as well. It's easy, painless (once you set it up) and provides a performance boost. It seemed to me that SBS ran faster in Mac OS than in Windows though. I always run on maximum priority. -- sxr71 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sxr71's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75156 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
