Shadow Defender - nowe wersje

[oldblues]

The Shadow Defender RAM buffer was an idea that I shared with Tony. He liked it and managed to implement it into the code within just 2 months of me suggesting it, along with full SSD and TRIM capability and Windows 8/8.1 compatibility. Accomplishing all that in just 2 months is an amazing feat for any software creator, a clear showcase of Tony''s skill as a leading security programmer.
I thought of it like this: Many systems today have a lot of RAM installed, with 6 to 8 gigabytes now being the bare minimum for midrange systems. I have been using solid state drives for some years now and realised that SSDs would benefit immensely from less daily write hits. To me the obvious solution was to move the shadow mode buffer from disk into RAM.
Tony managed to implement this change and now users can assign as much of their system RAM as they want to be used for the SD cache. Just remember, when you change the cache value to always leave at least 3 to 4 gigabytes of RAM for Windows. For example on a system with 6 gigabytes of installed RAM, it would be overkill to use more than 3 gigabytes for the SD RAM cache.
Remember also not to transfer huge files onto shadowed drives because those files are not being written on the disks themselves; they just get uploaded into the Shadow Defender RAM cache, filling it up pretty fast, which is pointless. If you just use your computer as normal, without copying big files onto the shadowed drives, then 3 gigabytes of Shadow Defender RAM buffer would do you for at least 4 to 5 continuous days and nights of normal computer operation. With the system essentially running from RAM, using much less energy, with the shadowed drives protected from any unwanted software changes. Not many of us leave their systems on for that long anyway. For the ones who do, once the RAM buffer fills-up, SD will seamlessly switch to a disk buffer, using free sectors from the disk"s empty space for this purpose. If you reboot once every few days the SD RAM buffer will be refreshed, and the switch to disk buffering will never happen.
Daily use of the Shadow Defender RAM buffer (on your windows disk especially) will prolong the lifespan of your SSDs and hard disks, and also dramatically reduce future fragmentation on conventional hard disks. All that because every single temporary file or folder that Windows and your web browser create with each daily session, all that junk will always hit RAM instead of your disks. A lot of write hits saved, each and every day.
