Thanks for the answer, as alternative i'm thinking of using my drivepool (HDD, not SSD) as the target disk.
At the very least it has deduplication too.
I know it's odd to use slower drive as cache but i read somewhere HDD has better write cycle than SSD

So I got a server running m.2 DC p4511 as OS disk, few days ago my server crashed, saying there's corrupted drive, fortunately i kept daily backup. So i restored the backup, but now sentinel says the drive is now 99%, only after 76 days of usage. And i've been triying to figure out what's causing th...

I'm not sure whats the cause, but last night the clients were having slow booting times, And lags occur on several games, namely ROS and dota2, so i had to revert the cache to ccboot's cache. And things went back to normal, games also ran better I already disabled ccboot's cache when i used primo's ...

Some clients were having long loading times last night, but i will monitor again for a few days just to be sure.
Btw, is there anyway to "force cache" a specific folder?
Because there are 2-3 games that often accessed and it would be better to always cache them..

Hmm previously ccboot cache only fils like 100gb IIRC,
But i'm adding more AAA games so it might increase even more.
Forgot to mention, i'm using quad-nic which is load balanced, although the switch and the client is only 1Gb of course,

Sorry for late reply, i am now testing the server version to cache the gamedisk, 256 samsung nvme L2 with 10Gb L1 to cache 12tb gamedisk (effectively 10tb) Mode is set to read ssd only, because gamedisk only needs to be read, not written WIll monitor it for a few days to see if it's better than ccbo...

L1 caching benefits very little with faster RAM. Just put in the largest amount of identical ram your board can hold and dedicate a lot of it to the L1 cache. I overclocked my RAM significantly and saw very little (2%) benefit. So slower RAM will work just as well in your case. A L2 SSD should work...

From what ive gathered by reading the forums (CMIIW) 1. L2 caching doesnt need ram to be effective 2. L1 caching requires high mhz ram to be effective 3. Effective Caching size depends on size of games frequently accessed > for my case, the biggest one iirc is ~40 gb Judging from these facts, im gon...

If you're absolutely stuck with the $1k budget, then I'd recommend a larger RAID 1 SSD drive pair on your server (to give redundancy + speed for reading), along with a copy of PrimoCache and as much RAM as you can afford to drop in the server (speed is negligible for the RAM). Yes, as Jaga recommen...

I've used Softperfect in the past (for about the last 6 years), and being familiar with RAMdrives I can say that Primo RamDisk is a much better program, with far more features. I've used it in a production environment since switching now for ~5 months and haven't encountered any issues at all. If y...
