But how does it compare to a RAM disk using "regular" RAM?

Because RAM disks are nothing new. ImDisk is a free and opensource software that lets you easily setup a RAM disk.

I use it when running AI upscaling + frame interpolation programs, as they generate tons of temp files which take up many GBs of space. A RAM disk is not only faster but it prevents battering your SSDs with tons of writes.
