# RAM Provider

Use the RAM provider to store files within available RAM.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The trade-off with the RAM provider is that IO operations will be performed incredibly fast, but you are limited to the available RAM that's been allocated to run your CFML application. 
{% endhint %}

## Configuration

### Example

{% code title="config/ColdBox.cfc" %}

```json
moduleSettings = {
	"cbfs": {
		// The default disk with a reserved name of 'default'
		"defaultDisk" : "myStorage",
		// Register the disks on the system
		"disks"       : {
			// Your default application storage
			"myStorage" : {
				"provider"   : "RAM",
				"properties" : {}
			}
		}
	},
};
```

{% endcode %}

### Properties

When configuring your RAM disks, the following properties are available:

<table><thead><tr><th width="217">Property</th><th width="106">Type</th><th width="129">Default</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>uploadMimeAccept</code></td><td><code>string</code></td><td>*</td><td>The mime types which are accepted via the upload method.
