Local drives

The following sections describe the local drives on your computer.

Drive Z

Drive Z (HP RAMDisk) is the onboard volatile memory on the logic board of the computer. Because
drive Z is volatile memory, HP recommends that you do not use this drive to store information that you
want to retain.

HP RAMDisk

The RAMDisk is volatile memory space set aside for temporary data storage.
The following items are stored on the RAMDisk:
●
Browser Web page cache
●
Browser history
●
Browser cookies
●
Browser cache
● Temporary Internet files
● Print spooling
● User/system temporary files
You can also use the RAMDisk for temporary storage of other data (such as roaming profiles) at the
administrator's discretion.
Use the RAMDisk Configuration dialog box to configure the RAMDisk size. If you change the size of the
RAMDisk, you will be prompted to restart for the change to take effect. To permanently save the change,
disable the write filter cache or issue the -commit command during the current boot session before
restarting.
NOTE: The default optimal RAMDisk size is 64 MB. The maximum RAMDisk size that you can set is
96 MB. The minimum is 16 MB.

Drive C

Drive C is on the flash drive. HP recommends that you do not write to drive C because writing to drive
C reduces the free space on the flash.
