Network World Fusion, 10/28/04

FarStone Technology today launched its VirtualDrive Utility & Burning Suite, which lets users run games and programs without CDs or DVDs and increases their hard drive speed.

The $59.99 software is based on FarStone's VirtualDrive, which was originally launched 10 years ago. It has a Virtual Hard Drive feature that utilizes system RAM to boost file transfer speeds up to 340 times faster than a regular hard drive, enhancing the PC's performance, FarStone said. The Virtual Hard Drive mimics a RAM disk drive to store the files in non-swappable physical memory, and data is automatically saved if any changes are made to the RAM drive or if the system reboots or shuts down, the company added.

The CD/DVD emulation technology lets users store images of CD and DVD programs (games, graphics and audio/video) on the hard drive. The VirtualDrive tool lets users create virtual CDs or DVDs on their hard drive, which eliminates access time and helps improve program speeds, FarStone said.

For more information, head to the FarStone Web site. You can also buy the product directly from the FarStone online store.
