RAM Disk for Video Editing Cache

Why Editing Cache Fits a RAM Disk

Editing applications often create preview files, proxy-like temporary data, render cache, and other short-lived files that are accessed repeatedly during active work. A RAM-backed drive can be a practical location for that temporary layer when the files are disposable or easy to regenerate.

Useful Scenarios

• Temporary preview or render cache during active editing sessions.
• Scratch storage for repeated timeline experiments.
• Short-lived media processing data that does not need permanent retention.
• Workflows where keeping disposable writes off the SSD is also a goal.

Important Distinction

This is about temporary cache, not long-term project storage. The real media files and final exports should still remain on normal storage. RAM Disk fits the temporary layer around editing, not the permanent archive.
