disable l2cache in same SSHD drive

Post by sabinekonya »

PrimoCache version:3.0.1
Cache Settings:read only(SSD)
Windows OS:10 1709 16229.64
Hardware Information (CPU/Motherboard/Memory/Harddisks): core i5 6500/asus h170 pro gaming/8GB/sandisk ssd128 gb& SSHD(WD10S12X)
Description:

1.I install wd boost driver from Westan Dgital.
2.unistall HybridIO_x64.msi on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Western Digital\WD Boost"
3.format 931.39GB,14.91GB partition on WD10S12X
4.allocate l2 cache on this parition to 931.39GB by primocache
5.check status on 931.39GB and you got l2 cache disable.

but you allocate l2 cache on ssd to 931.39GB, l2 cache is enable on sshd

*WD10S12X has ssd with hdd and you need wd boost driver to use sshd

This is by design that PrimoCache automatically disable the L2 cache for the volumes in the same L2 storage disk because using L2 for these volumes is useless and even making performance worse.

i understand the reason.

i don't know how to say this but some hdd drives (eg.wd black2 and wd black sshd) is combined with hdd and ssd in same physical drive so i want to set l2cache on ssd part to improve access speed on hdd part.

if you can, primocache enable l2 cache for some hdd drives

I understand now. Ok, I'll report this request to our R&D colleagues. I hope it can be supported in the next version.

I'm glad that we add an option in v3.0.2 to allow L2cache on the same drive.
To enable this, run PrimoCache command-line program and type the following command.

rxpcc set L2OnSameDisk 1

Regarding the command-line program, please see

Thanks.

I'm using now.
For the moment, L2OnSameDisk option is fine.
