Write 60 gb data to hard disk when shutdown Windows

Post by viktortskots »

I'm using 64 GB of RAM (installed on the motherboard)
PrimoCache it's 60 GB, write-mode: native, latency: INFINITE, profile cache: only write (don't Read & Write)

1. My hard drive is old and slow
2. Write to hard disk 60 GB need ~ 20 minutes
3. When shutdown Windows it is given 20 seconds to close programs

important question - Windows will wait ~20 minutes, until write data PrimoCache to hard disk? ..or 20 seconds?

..and sorry for my bad english :roll:

The latest version of PrimoCache v3.0.2 ensures that all deferred data will be written to underlying disks before Windows shutdown.

I'd suggest not setting latency to Infinite - I'd seen some quirky behavior in the past trying that setting. Instead, set it to either 5 minutes (300s) or 10 minutes (600s). That way chances are better Primocache won't have to write a full set of 60 gig when Windows shuts down (or sleeps).
