Install Log2Ram
One of the most significant advantages of offloading your RAM is that it improves your SD Card’s potential lifespan. Log files are one of the things written to most by the various pieces of software you install. By pushing the files to your RAM, you can control how often they are written to the SD Card. You will still be able to access these files on the RAM as if they sat on your SD Card.
