A RAM disk is not any separate physical component. It's just a device driver (software) that grabs a block of RAM at system boot, removing it from other use and creating the appearance that there's a separate disk device and file system.
For my Windows system I am using an older (free 4 GB) version of the software linked below. This was free, but I don't see a free version on the web page today. For Linux systems ram disk software is available for all distributions and can be installed and activated for free (assuming necessary Linux knowledge).
