Re: [2019-12-31] PrimoCache 3.2.0 and 4.0.0 alpha released!

Hello, I'm thinking of purchasing a license and trying out 4.0alpha. Does this version allow the user to extract an external SSD (used for cache) safely without the cache being wiped? Perhaps by performing parity checks next time the drive is connected?

Re: Can I use an external SSD as cache?

Is 4.X currently available for purchase to standard users? I tried looking for it but the newest download in the main page seems to be 3.2.

Re: Can I use an external SSD as cache?

Thank you for your response! What does "SSD cache content will get cleared" mean? If I unplug the SSD while Windows is running and later plug it back in, will all the cache have to be re-built, or will the previously-cached files remain cached? If all files are cleared from the cache, can ...
