Miray RAM Drive Plus/Pro/Server editions only: right-clicking on the arrow
button opens a small box which enables you to specify the desired size in MB
(Plus/Pro/Server) or in sectors (Pro).
Once the desired value is set, you can activate the RAM drive (45.1.2 Turning
on the RAM drive) using the On/Off button.
5.1.2 Turning on the RAM drive
The RAM drive can be turned on using the button located at
the bottom of the program window (4
Fig. 12). Before turning
it on, select the desired capacity of the RAM drive, as this can-
not be changed afterwards.
When switching on the RAM drive, it will be automatically ini-
tialized, partitioned and formatted (45.2.3 Formatting), so that it is ready for im-
mediate use. Meanwhile, the power button displays an animation, letting you
know the initialization is on-going. Once the power button turns green, the RAM
drive is active and therefore ready to use.

Miray RAM Drive Plus/Pro/Server editions only
If you have set the option InstantOn
in the 47 Context menu, the Miray RAM
Drive is turned on immediately after starting the program, with the last selected
settings. In combination with 47.3 Autostart, the RAM drive is available immedi-
ately after starting Windows.
See 47.4 InstantOn for more information regarding this function.
5.2 Active RAM drive
Once the RAM drive is on, formatted and ready to use, the program window
changes its display from the slider to a RAM drive status information.
