The RAMDrive was an REU co-developed by Creative Micro Designs and Performance Peripherals. It could function as an ordinary REU in DMA mode. However, it had 1541/71/81 emulation capability on par with the RAMLink. Unlike the RAMLink the device was intended to be portable. It had a form factor not unlike that of a television remote and was battery backed by internal Nickel–cadmium batteries.

The RAMDrive was of a fixed RAM capacity in 512kB, 1MB, and 2MB models.
