Tech-savvy users can speed up file operations by writing directly to RAM instead of their hard drive, thanks to a Linux feature called `/dev/shm`. This temporary storage space acts like a super-fast scratchpad, perfect for tasks that don’t need permanent storage—like caching or temp files—but it vanishes when you reboot.

Editor’s Note: If you’re tired of waiting on slow disk writes for temporary data, this little-known Linux trick could be a game-changer. It’s not for everything (don’t store your tax returns here!), but for developers or power users juggling heavy workloads, it’s a clever way to squeeze out extra performance. Just remember: RAM is volatile, so don’t get too attached to what you put there.
