Re: Cache on external drive

I don't know for certain, but I think there is.
It's kind of odd that either Support or else someone else on here who *does* know hasn't answered you already.
Usually this forum is pretty good about answering questions and getting good information out pretty quickly.
Don't know what's going on ...

If I right-click on a task and select the 'Clear Cache Content' option on a cache that has only L1 cache in Shared mode, then will PrimoCache automatically flush any deferred write data to disk before clearing the cache contents or do I need to manually flush deferred write data to disk before I ...

Re: Getting started to PrimoCache on Windows Server 2022

I think you could partition the RAID 1 HDDs into 2 separate volumes, one volume for userprofiles and the other volume only for the database.
Then create 2 separate cache tasks, one cache task for each of the two volumes.
In the cache task for the userprofile volume, enable caching AND defer-write ...

Re: Advice for users about Windows memory compression

Very good, RobF99! Thank you very much! :)

(By the way, I just bought your DiskTrix Ultimate DeFrag6 and am pondering how best to implement it in my environment.
I'll let you know what I come up with after I look at it a few more days ... Thanks again! 8-) )

Re: L1 cache with drives from L2 cache + another

I don't see how to do this.

If my first task caches ssd and hdd to L1, then my second task which would cache hdd to l2 also, cannot add hdd to task because drive is already cached in first task.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance ...

Re: Is there any way to force L2 cache a specific directory?

Thanks for your input, Jaga. Your insights and suggestions regarding cache block sizes have helped me many times and I appreciate it.
