Hello,
First of all I would like to thanks for the valuable software which help me to keep my hard disk in order.
But I have a question. Is it possible to check how much bytes were written to the ramdisk during operation. Neither fsutils nor discounterview from Nirsoft works correctly. Of course it is possible to use procmon but for whole day and millions of writes it is practically useless.
Many thanks in advance.
Robert

Depends what you're looking for ? I use Procmon the whole time, then Tools->File Summary to exactly see what was Read/Written to it. You can't use perfmon as there are no performance counters exposed for this type of ramdisk-device. fsutil you can use to see how many bytes free, used, total are on the ramdisk like so:
Using mountpoint as C:\RamDisk -> fsutil volume diskfree C:\RamDisk
Using a Drive T: -> fsutil volume diskfree T:\
(So, depending on what you try to accomplish, you could do this once before and after to check the difference, for example)

Thank you Wizard, I know Procmon and use it from time to time but in my case it slows down my computer heavily. In my work I have more then 400k lines per hour. Of course I use filters to log only Ramdisk activity.
I am looking for a single counter or method not impacting computer performance. In Ubuntu to see total disk writes you have to read one file. /sys/fs/ext4/sda1/session_write_kbytes
Fsutils is great tool, for example: fsutil fsinfo statistics c: but don't want to work on imdisk ramdisk.
The difference method in this case is not correct. For example Chrom writes constantly to the same files.
