Suggestion: Amount of read/written data for each drive letter

Hello.
The RAM Disk window displays the total amount of data written to and read from RAM - specifically, the combined total for all RAM volumes. Is it possible to view this data separately for each individual drive letter? From a user's perspective, this would be very informative, as it would allow me to individually estimate the costs associated with certain tasks.

Thank you for the suggestion. It's a reasonable idea and we understand the appeal of attributing I/O to specific workloads.

Unfortunately, exposing per-volume read/write counters would require non-trivial changes to the Windows kernel driver, the user-mode SDK, and the GUI, for what would ultimately be a relatively niche statistic. Drive letters can also be reassigned or removed between sessions, which makes per-letter lifetime totals less meaningful than the combined figure we show today.

We've noted the request and will keep it in mind for a future release, but it's not something we can commit to at this stage.
