Re: Somthing toward a "sticky:" Suggestiion for a configuration discussion for various PC usage patterns

Has anyone cached a mounted VHD over a network? I've tried to cache the physical disk on the host which the VHD is located on but the network connection is a real bottleneck when it comes to 4K1T W&R, only managing 10MB/s. So even if the host disk is cached the latency is still very poor. Then I...

If anyone wants to try it here is the code for a script. It copies all files up to size 64KB from D: to Z:\temp\SFC. Drives letters should be changed...

Re: Primocache Prefetching from HDD and not SSD?

Yes, currently PrimoCache prefetch data from underlying disks in order not to interfere L2. But we are considering to allow prefetch from L2 for better performance. Thanks. I would like to upvote a prefetch from L2 feature. I currently avoid using prefetch since it takes about 5min to prefetch 8GB ...

Re: [2020-12-31] PrimoCache 4.0.1 released!

Thanks for the new update and the hard work. Unfortunately I'll need to stay on 4.0.0 alpha until support for storage spaces is added again.
