Empty Copy

Copy to RAM
Paste to disk

Warning

RAM works as long as the computer is turned on — beware of data loss. Recommended for systems with +16GB ram

What is

It is a simple bash script for Linux that copies file(s) or folder(s) to RAM, which can then be pasted at any time to any device connected to the computer. Be careful, though, because RAM only retains data as long as the computer is turned on. Not recommended for important data

Explain

Many times, unnecessary system transfers take place, or files are copied that could simply be put into RAM. Or even, when we have only one free USB port and a 5 GB file that we want to move to another external drive, what do we do? We copy the file to the internal drive, then disconnect external drive 1, plug in external drive 2, and transfer it. That's a simple way to avoid completely unnecessary disk writes and prevent its health from degrading. Of course isn't so important for your disk health but is a funny script.
