use Disk Master as a RAM buffer for my hard drive

In this way, I can simulate having part of my hard drive acting as if it were a SSD. I have plenty of RAM and about 30 to 40 GB of it is usually unused. This is how I see the app working: When Disk Master is loaded, it asks me if I want to simulate Solid State Drive for one of my hard drives and how much RAM to use for that: I enter the drive letter and 30GB. Then Disk Master watches what I read and write from/to that drive and keeps those files inn the 30GB area it has allocated in my RAM. So, when I want something that is already in the DM RAM, DM give it to me from RAM; if I change anything DM writes it to RAM and (background) flushes it out to the hard drive so the latest data is also always on the hard drive. Obviously, DM will keep the most-used files in RAM and flush least used out to the hard drive when the 30GB of RAM is "full". This will result in my having the most used portion of my hard drive SSD "emulated" and a much faster machine.
