How to create a ram disk for sandboxie

I have seen some members say that they use a ram disk for sandboxie's container folder, how is this done and how much ram is needed?

 

Download RamDiks from here: https://www.softperfect.com/products/ramdisk/ (or some other RamDisk if you want). Create RamDisk, assign it a drive letter and move Sandboxie Container to that drive.
I'm using 2GB RamDisk from my 16GB of RAM.

 

What's the least amount of ram I can use? I only have 4gb

 

@ Overkill, I have identical system than you [Win 7, 4 GB].
For many years a Sandboxie user - with RAM Disk for their container folder. Also I use Ram Disk to my Maxthon cache.
A many years ago I did the Ram Disk for that - with 250 MB.
Never had an issue with such Ram Disk amount.
Hoping this info will be useful to you.

 

Great!...what will happen if chrome's contents go over the amount I have the ram disk set to? Also, i'm assuming I may feel a difference in my computers responsiveness since some of my ram will be used for chrome/sbie?

 

What's this mean?

 

I don't use RAM Disk but mybe this could help you?

If you're gonna use volatile Ramdisk (it is cleaned at each shutdown/reboot) and don't wanna save it as image, you shouldn't have any problems.

 

You will be alerted by system/software that the disk is full. When I download a file that have e.g. 5 GB, I haven't any issues - since the file goes to 'Downloads' folder that is outside container sandboxie folder.
Don't forget that the container sandboxie folder will be deleted after exit Windows; it is good in a security view point.

You can use Ram Disk without such issues arise at all.

P.S.: BTW I use Dataram RAMDisk.

 

Thanks for the replies, I think i'll try dataram

 

me too i want to use ram disk for sandboxie
seeing for browser cache i have found any gain

it's better volatile Ramdisk for sandboxie ,isn't it?
thanks

 

IF you don't need any contents within, then yes.

 

thanks
do you use sandboxie inside a ram disk to avoid hard disk/ssd degradation or to be more safe?

 

Both. Wear and secure data vanishing off in RAM are crucial for me.
