Today we’re looking at the iRAM, and early (and wild) SSD from 2006. A slightly cursed idea at the time, but how does it stack up in 2025?

A lot of Linux distros do this by default. Alternatively you can use /dev/shm when you need a RAM disk, since it’s guaranteed to always be a RAM disk (whereas /tmp may or may not be).
The actual purpose of /dev/shm is shared memory (storing stuff in memory that’s shared across multiple processes) but I see it used as a generic RAM disk all the time.
