What this RamDisk look like.
Normally they are just software that uses your existing RAM. But you referred to it like it was hardware (maybe a PCI-E card)?

Edit: OK I see what you are talking about. It is the AMD software package that allows you to create a RAMDisk of *up to* 64GB. This kind of software is available for free. No need to buy it.

You can set up partitions on your memory. So if you get a 8gb you can partition 4 for a game, web browser, etc.

It caches whatever you want to use it for. It will clear when you reboot, but it will be put back on.

Bottom line:
Pretty much you can use your ram as a storage device, but being a lot faster than a SSD.
