VirtualDrive Pro 12

CD-DVD emulation + RAM disk software

VirtualDrive Pro converts CDs and unprotected DVDs into MP3-like files, or "virtual CDs," which run in place of original discs in any one of up to 23 "virtual drives" created in the software.

Archive your virtual CDs (VCDs) in a searchable library. Transport your VCDs on a laptop computer or USB device, and share them over a network. Since VCDs play directly on your hard drive, they save wear and tear on your CD-ROM drive and extend the battery life of laptop computers. VCDs also have access rates more than 200 times faster than physical CDs in a CD-ROM drive, improving the playback of PC games, photo CDs, and disc-based applications.

VirtualDrive Pro makes it a snap to create custom VCDs with favorite tracks, expansion packs, custom programs, and documentation. Pre-load your virtual drives to run several VCDs simultaneously, swapping them out via hot keys to avoid load times and spin up delays. Your virtual drives will show up as drive letters in Windows Explorer, which views them as physical drives, even though they are not!

VirtualDrive Pro comes with a full version of Virtual Hard Drive Pro, which lets you run files and applications in unlimited RAM up to 340 times faster than on your hard drive.
