RAMDisk Manager
1.2.1Easily create, manage, and monitor RAM disks.
Overview
RAMDisk Manager allows you to easily create, manage, and monitor RAM disks. RAM Disks are special devices created in Random Access Memory (RAM) which can be used as normal drives to speedup the work on huge documents (pictures, movies, etc...) and prevent hard disks (HD) and solid state drives (SSD) unnecessary read/write when some system folders are redirected to them. RAMDisk Manager allows you to create standard and custom system-based RAM disks which can be used to speedup your system.
Major features:
- Create standard and custom System based RAM Disks without using script coding
- Synchronize RAM Disks contents with linked folders
- Automatically create and restore Ram Disks at user session login
- Monitor RAM Disks used space and do something useful below custom levels
- Show/Hide RAM Disks from Finder
- Share RAM Disks settings with other RAM Disk Manager users by using Import/Export features
- and more...

To answer what I think you're getting at though, yes DRAM is much more resilient and reliable then Flash memory. Decent DRAM chips should outlive the computer they're put into. Flash on the other hand is severely limited in the number of times it can be written to and is highly error prone, however over provisioning and sophisticated error correction in Flash devices' embedded controllers attempt to compensate for this.
So yes, if you have an SSD, putting frequent intensive I/O operations inside a RAM disk can help improve the longevity of your SSD.
