I had already done some tests for windows fast boot: fast boot disabled + cache enabled - 50s to 60s fast boot enabled + cache disabled - 35s fast boot enabled + cache enabled - 25s to 35s so I left it on... as for the percentage of the read / write cache, how do you recommend to set it? while I fo...

Without defer-write enabled, write-data will be immediately written to the HDD. Write performance will also not be improved. so it does not pass through the L2 cache but it is directly written to the hdd? Average mode is usually for scenarios in which there are heavy writes incoming. Could you be m...

Hello, I discovered the "advanced defer write options" menu in which to choose the deferred writing mode. I didn't understand what the "average" option means, can you explain to me how it works? also I would like to know how is the writing of files to HDD managed with the defer w...

Question 1 : When using Defer-write on an L2 write cache (L1 read only in this case), because the L2 is persistent, does it mean that in case of system crash, no data can be lost ? Or the map that keeps track of the dirty blocks is only in memory and thus data loss will still occur ? same question

You can leave fast boot enabled, but sooner or later it has a good chance of corrupting the cache which forces it to clear. It is always recommended with Primocache to disable any/all Fast Boot options in Windows/BIOS. where exactly is it recommended? because fast boot is enabled by default in wind...

I have another question. if I do not enable the defer write option, after how long will the write cache be downloaded to the hdd? always considering that I do not use the L1 cache, if I enable the defer write option in case of power failure/bsod the data in the cache is transferred to the hdd at reb...

thanks for the reply, it's clear now. The pc is an hp pavillon with amd fx-670K cpu, R7 240 gpu, 12GB ram and 1tb HDD. The ssd for the cache is 128gb, I set the block size to 4Kb. The main use is for internet browsing, opening and creating documents and using virtual machines with virtualbox. Also I...

hello, I have set the L2 cache as 80% read and 20% write but I have not quite understood how the write cache works. When is it transferred to the HDD? and how? L1 cache is disabled. I know that the read cache is a copy of the HDD's most used files and it can be deleted at any time without any proble...
