Let's say I have ZERO RAM write cache. If I have SSD write cache with a long defer write, and power is lost before that data can be written from the SSD to the HDD, is that data lost?

Let's assume that the data was finished being written to the SSD.

Here's Scenario 1: PC 1 has a bunch of HDDs in it. Its HDDs are connected to PC 2 via ethernet so that PC 2 can access them as if they were local drives. PC 2 is running Primocache. Can PC 2 use its own RAM and SSD to cache the drives connected from PC 1? Can PC 1 ALSO run Primocache to have RAM and...

Hi after thinking about how to eliminate the need for SSDs for chia farming, I came across PrimoCache and registered here to make this post. First of all, very cool software and very good value for price. I wonder why I didn't stumble upon this piece of gold earlier. Regarding chia mining and gener...

Can you elaborate on why this isn't allowed? Is it a technical limitation, or is it an arbitrary decision to block it because you think it might not be a good experience using a network drive as a hard drive? If it's the latter, isn't that the user's choice to make? It's a technical limitation. Pri...

From what I understand, Primocache does not know what files it is caching, so it cannot control which files it caches. So I have an idea: Have Primocache schedule automatic reads of certain files and folders to force certain behavior with the cache prioritization. I'd seen ideas posted of only cachi...

Principles in network drives are completely different that in local drives. They are two things. So far PrimoCache can only support local drives. Can you elaborate on why this isn't allowed? Is it a technical limitation, or is it an arbitrary decision to block it because you think it might not be a...

So I redid the testing (same settings, new test files), and it ran at slower speed first and then the faster speed: https://youtu.be/WSOL6tSHvOY I definitely will not be mixing drives. I'll stick to just my NVME SSDs as cache, and if I want more space, I'll get another of the same NVME SSD and insta...

Now that I think about it, it could have just been coincidence that it filled up the faster drive first. It could just be that it was set to fill up that specific partition before filling the second partition, and Windows didn't recognize that one drive was faster than the other.

One more question: If I have a combination of NVME and standard SSDs in a dynamic drive as a cache, will Primocache recognize this and store most used files on the fastest part first? No, it will not. PrimoCache doesn't check underlying physical drives. It processes based on logical volumes. I did ...

One more question: If I have a combination of NVME and standard SSDs in a dynamic drive as a cache, will Primocache recognize this and store most used files on the fastest part first? Example: Two 1TB NVME SSDs in RAID 0 as Drive A 256GB NVME SSD as Drive B (using M.2 to PCie adaptor) 240GB SATA SSD...
