Re: Feature Request: Support accelerating writes with L2 Storage

With a boot-time-load driver, I don't readily see any pitfalls except dealing with interrupted writes to files that are also boot-time loaded and do so before our driver (these are always in use and are typically replaced with PendingFileRenameOperations)... as well as of filesystem metadata related...

Re: Feature Request: Support accelerating writes with L2 Storage

Display cumulative statistics for a cache task

Currently, if I select a line pertaining to a cache task in the PrimoCache main window, no statistics are displayed.

Why not display cumulative statistics for all affected drives instead so I can readily see the overall caching effectiveness?

Defragmenting's impact on caching

Do defragmenters have any adverse impact on PrimoCache - e.g. invalidate cache contents? I'm primarily concerned about L2.

Manual prefetch to L2

Manually upload to SSD files/folders that I expect to be used extensively (e.g. databases).

Primarily intended for initial cache population to reduce the related performance hit.
