tecnogaming: "...Ryzen 9 3950X @ 4Ghz with 128GB Corsair Dominator running at 2866..." The Infinity Fabric Bus connects your 4, 4 core core complexes, your memory bus, your PCIe, basically everything. It runs at memory frequency... 1433MHz in your case. Now if it got that number up to 1600...

From research paper: Differentiated Storage Services by Intel Labs "...We associate caching policies with various classes (e.g., large files shall be evicted before metadata and small files), and we show that end-to-end file system performance can be improved by over a factor of two, relative to c...

cichy45 & InquiringMind You guys are missing the point! 🙂 Let me explain: Windows will auto use any spare DRAM as a file aware read cache, regardless of whether you have PrimoCache installed or not. (That's assuming your system drive is a HDD, or that you have edited the registry to force the sa...

Feature Requests: (assuming you want a better, faster product than the competition!?) :) 1: A 3rd non volatile caching tier: Cache HDD to SATA SSD to NVME or Optane SSD. 2: Filtering by size and random/sequential: Optane is fast at low que depth (QD1) random ~4K, but slower than a MP600 say at large...

Unless I am very much mistaken you will find the solution to using an Optane Drive with Win 7 here: https://www.win-raid.com/ They have modded bioses and drivers for booting older hardware with NVME drives etc-etc and I have never had an issue with their software IF their instructions are carefully ...

Thx for the reply. WhyTF would windows want to break fast, large sequential I/O into small chunks for anything but the pagefile? Links if you have any plz? From researching ReadyBoost, which does this well, it became apparent that it was bought from a university. (isn't everything worth having in Wi...

HDDs are good at large sequential reads. Flash is good at small random reads where it can read multiple files in the time it takes just to seek just one such file on a HDD. It's a known fact that the faster a drive is at low que depth random 4K; the snappier the system feels to the user. Suggestion...

@Logic, thank you for the information! PrimoCache defer-write also has such functions (identify/reorder/aggregate), and you may see #3 "Align and combine small writes to the SSD's block size" in our document below. http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache/example-reduce-ssd-wear.htm...

@ Primocache/Admin: The following is from the FlashFire White Paper in the previously linked Google Drive Folder: ... first identify the inherent characteristics of SSD technology ...we propose solutions that are designed to leverage these characteristics and overcome the inherent performance proble...
