Sorry about the delayed reply. The disk errors do look significant and I would suggest checking your Event Log for any hardware errors (also try running chkdsk after a few days without PrimoCache, since they could be the result of a long-running hardware fault that has only now become visible). Give...

unfortunately I can neither add nor replace an SSD. You certainly should be able to swap your HDD for and SSD (using appropriate software to clone your system across) and that would be the best way to improve performance (plus adding more RAM). On the homepage, in the presentation of "primocac...

Welcome to the forums, Einstein1969 PrimoCache offers 2 types of caching - L1 uses RAM and is the fastest (though it will overlap with Windows' own file cache). L2 needs an SSD and should only be used for speeding up HDDs. In your case, you don't appear to have enough memory to be able to benefit mu...

As an alternative to changing OS, a third-party File Copy Tool may alleviate that problem, if anyone else encounters it.

Welcome to the forums KaffeemitZimt, I'd agree with Support and suggest that your current setup seems (overly?) elaborate. In particular, data that is rarely used (or doesn't benefit from high read/write speeds, like media files) shouldn't be cached at all (your "Cold Storage" disks may we...

...if you use UltimateDefrag, you can just right click on folder and select defragment, and it will only defragment the files in that folder.

The feature would not be complex as its just off loading read operations to the lower tier when the active time on l2 is 100%...similar drives have been tested before with Intel VROC raid 0, etc. Sadly they increase the latency by a decent amount. If Intel's VROC increases latency (with hardware su...

...raiding the 2 drives would results in lower performance... What type of RAID did you use for your testing? Windows software, motherboard or dedicated RAID controller card? Implementing this feature request would not only seem complex (each drive would need to be benchmarked to determine best spe...

PrimoCache currently uses an LRU (Least Recently Used) algorithm to determine which blocks to discard when full. Older versions (2.x if I recall correctly) gave the choice between LRU and LFU (Least Frequently Used) algorithms. It would be interesting to hear from support why LFU was removed, as the...
