Well, in the meantime I have purchased PrimoCache
Thank Jaga, he's the one who brought PrimoCache to my attention, and thank you Support for answering my questions.
Regards,

Thank you! So since I frequently do offline work, here is what I did: I used BCDEDIT to add a (fake) O/S entry to both Win7 and Win10 to boot in SafeMode. This way I am reminded about PrimoCache every time I reboot, in case I did offline changes, and it's especially useful for Win10 where F8 is diff...

4.0.1 released... Version 4.0.1 (2020-12-31) New: Verify level-2 cache data on the next boot after an ungraceful shutdown, instead of simply cleaning all level-2 cache data. New: Add the option value "INSTANT" for the level-2 Gather Interval, able to quickly gather data to level-2 cache wh...

Hi Jaga, I actually learned of PrimoCache on the DrivePool forums, from you ;-) We discussed performance a little over there. The problem as I see it, is that anything can happen to invalidate the L2, and PrimoCache is oblivious to it. I cannot predict when I will be forced to boot into something el...

I re-installed PrimoCache in EVAL on Win7. It found it's L2 partition that I had used previously, but it refused to re-use the previously allocated sub-partitions, meaning that even if I were to install PrimoCache in both Win7 and Win10, it would not allow re-using the same L2; it really isn't built...

Jaga -> I wish it did what you say, but it does not detect that the cache is dirty, it just keeps on using it, with disastrous consequences obviously, since the disk and the cache no longer match. It wouldn't be too bad if all it cached were regular files, but it's a sector cache and it caches NTFS ...

Good day. So I added in my post above that PrimoCache was installed in Win7 and when I booted Win10, it modified the partitions that had a L2 cache in Win7, even though I did not write to those partitions - the files did not move, but the NTFS structures did, which caused mayhem when I rebooted into...

Good day. EDIT: PrimoCache was installed in Win7 my primary OS for now... So I've been trying out PrimoCache, with write caching. I knew about the Flush-L2-On-Shutdown (volatile L2 I think you call it) option but I figured I'd deal with that once I'd installed the cache in BOTH of my OS'es (Win7/Win...
