Windows Server 2012 ramdisk
This is likely a stupid question.

Having said that, I thought that I had read where Windows Server 2012 was able to NATIVELY support creating and using a ramdrive without having to use any kind of third-party tool/software.

Is that true, or did I just misunderstand?

thank you,
Jeff

I don't think so.  Back in Server 2008 you needed 3rd party tools.

Imdisk says it supports 2012.

I can't find anything for Server 2012 to do it natively.
