Hi, I have an Intel 460GB 480p and a 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe drive. Does it make sense to use part of the Optane drive (maybe 64GB) as a Level 2 Cache? Will it slow down apps and games on the Samsung drive that uses higher queue depths? I thought it would increase speed and reduce the wear on the N...

Hi, my friend give me an extra 16GB Intel Optane drive but my CPU doesn't support the Intel cache feature. Would it make sense to use it as a cache for Primocache for a 4TB mechanical hard drive? Thanks.

Hi, I have a Intel 17 6700K, 64GB of DDR4 RAM (I work a lot with VMs for work), my OS drive is a 512GB Samsung Pro 950 NVME and I have a 1TB Samsung 850 EVO. I also have a UPS.

Hi,

I set PrimoCache to use 8GB out of my 32GB as cache with a 64 block size. I tried lower it to use only 4GB or ram but Windows Task Manager still shows a 35% jump in Memory use after I enable Primocache. Is this normal or I is there a way not to use so much RAM? Thank you.

Oh ok, I think I know how it works now. Thanks for explaining it to me.

Hi, I'm a little confuse about the Level-2 Cache description on the website It says that "For better performance, level-2 cache is designed to store read-data only. For example, if a file is written to disk, this file will not be stored into level-2 cache." Does that mean when I copy over ...

Hi,

I been using PrimoCache for almost a 6 months and really like. I'm just curious if there will be an upgrade in the near future. The website says the last update was a year ago. Thanks.

Hi, I have 2x 4TB HHDs in mirrored and 2x 500GB SSDs in a stripped. I want to use 60 GB of my SSDs for L2 cache of my HHDs. Whenever I try to set it up it showing both SSD drives. Should I split of the L2 cache between two drives? What is the best way to allocate a L2 cache on this drives? Thanks!
