Is this caused by the wear leveling algorithm for which it gets tougher and tougher to find unused cells?"

"Still, it keeps puzzling me why there are a lot of users experiencing measurable slow down (on Mac OSX without TRIM support). Save the file and drag the Cache2RAM.app bundle to your login items (System Preferences » Accounts.Īctually you can store anything to the RAMdisk and the app will restore it on login, but let's use the Safari cache as an example.You can change RAM disk size, name and the backup directory path here. Edit the lines below #Settings to your wishes (or anything else you want to change).In Finder do a 'Show Package Contents' of the just downloaded app and edit the file: Contents/MacOS/cache2RAM.sh.Download and unzip my app from the above link.Install an up to date version of rsync, with Mac OS X and HFS+ enhancements for rsync.Therefore, I created this Mac OSX application (which is actually a simple Bash script), which you can place in your login items which will create a RAM drive and store/restore Safari cache on login/logout. Other scripts did not provide a way to store the cache to disk at logout.Some RAMdrive creators were not available for download anymore (EsperanceDV).However, none seemed to work for me because: Several hints on this site describe a way to store Safari cache on a RAM drive. One solution was to store the Safari cache on a RAM drive which will only be written to disk at logout. However, I was searching for ways to limit the wear of my SSD (since each cell has a limited lifetime with regards to writes).
Installing a new OCZ Vertex II SSD in an old 2006 iMac really speeds things up (and is documented in photos here).
