Write cache methods

Hi guys You've changed the write method in 0.6 and for me it's not ideal and was wondering if you could include some options. 1 Use the new method (which seems to write at the allocated time after the actual data is sent to the drive) 2 The old method (that would write everything out periodically - ...

Re: SSD usage and other suggestions

I hate the gadget framework to be honest, and you're limiting the reach. I think the idea of trimming blocks (although it gets confused with the TRIM command for SSDs) would be a big plus for XP users. Since Fancycache is compatible across the board, I hope you go with a stand-alone approach :) Prob...

Re: Persistently cache data from regular hard disks onto SSD

Hey guys, you can use eBoostr for this- persistent caching of GBs of data on an SSD. I use it to Cache 4GB of data from my data drive onto my SSD. You can configure it to ignore certain types of files and configure it for files of a certain size. For example, caching all files below 1MB is a good id...

Re: SSD usage and other suggestions

I guess yes, the perfmon counters are the way to go, since most of us who want that information are either geeks or enterprise geeks :) Good luck with the SSD optimizer, I'm getting read reductions of up to 20% and write reductions of up to 30% with only 512MB cache (which I imagine would be the Lar...

Re: SSD usage and other suggestions

Hi Thanks for your response.. I was excited about the idea using the app to support the SSD. Here's a link to the OCZ thread where the discussion took place, just in case you are interested. Most people don't seem to understand how these things work, I hope my perspectives are accurate. http://www.o...

SSD usage and other suggestions

Hi Guys Thank you for this wonderful Cache. I wanted to share a few thoughts and experiences. Firstly, I'm using the cache to reduce the overall writes and reads to my SSD thereby reducing writes and power consumption. So far it's working very well with a typical usage as follows: 1GB Cache with 60s...
