RAMDISK

You could try setting up a ramdisk on windows, and then telling mongodb to use that location as the datastore.

You can configure this by setting the storage.dbPath in mongodb's configuration - http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/

Here's a guide for setting up a ramdisk on windows - http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/create-10-gbs-ram-disk-windows/

And you can start mongodb and pass in the --dbpath to point to the ramdisk

'inMemoryExperiment' STORAGE ENGINE

Also as of MongoDB v3 there is an experimental in memory storage engine, you can try it out by passing in --storageEngine inMemoryExperiment to the mongod command when starting mongodb

Some info here - http://stela.io/mongodb-in-memory-storage-engine-setup/
