How many GB of ssd should i partition for LVL-2 storage of Primo Cache?

Post by Urejtq »

Hi,
i want to speed up my hdd by using Primo Cache program on small sdd partition. My hdd is 1 tb and ssd is 250 gb. Optimally i would like to sack as small space of ssd as possible. How much of partiation of ssd should i dedicate for Primo Cahce lvl-2 storage for best speed up on loading games from hdd? should i sac 16 or 32 gb?

intel's optane allows hdd to be sped up by caching data on sdd 16 gb.

16gb should be enough for caching a game, but if you also want to cache Windows boot files, runtime files, etc... you'd be better off going with a 32gb L2 SSD cache. I would even suggest going higher, IF you see the L2 cache filling up really quickly.

How can i see how much the L2 cache is filled? Or how much cache is in use?
