For example, if the TM is on the RAM disk but the file that you're translating is a bilingual file that is saved on the SSD/HDD, then your segments' translations are always recoverable.[/quote]
And as Michael says, you could have a versioning & backup tool like Syncovery that just copies the file/s in the RAM disk to non-volatile storage.
Yesterday a client sent me a project containing a couple of dozen large TMs. My PC is no performance demon, but it does have a decent Core i7. Despite that, lookup times for this project were measured in tens of seconds. Eventually I had to detach half the TMs, and even then it was pretty slow. I wonder if a RAM disk would have helped?
