Great idea :) I would love to have "Read Cut-Thru Write" - I am on a cheap SSD and each write-request kills / slows down a parallel read-request... (This results in an almost freeze while Fancy Cache is flushing its cache, because all read-requests get significantly slowed down) So I think...

also you might see below topic, http://www.romexsoftware.com/bbs2/en-us/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=773 Thanks for the link. I've already seen this topic before, but the discussed mod only allows a tray icon for FancyCache. Unfortunately, this tray icon can neither show the current flushing status nor...

The problem is that I'm already using the "average write amount" on my disk. Still, the PC becomes unresponsive :( (EDIT: although I should mention that it is not as bad as before, but it still is unresponsive) Could you please try to implement a different solution (for example taking into...

Would it therefore be possible, to use 4 KB blocks for caching, but have FC convert these 4KB blocks to 512KB blocks (by accumulating multiple blocks into one larger one) when writing to disc, to reduce the amount of blocks to write? Yes, it does. So this feature is already implemented? Great :) Th...

Hi, I'm not totally sure whether this feature is the "average write amount" - mainly because I can't find any detailed explanation of "average write amount". What I'd really love to have is the following feature: FC starts writing to disc, once the timeout of the defer write occu...

Hi, Would it be possible for FancyCache to write to the disc using larger blocks than are used for caching? I've realized that (maybe a Placebo effect?) FC seems to write deferred writes much faster, if I set the block size to a larger value. Would it therefore be possible, to use 4 KB blocks for ca...

Hi, Could you please implement a small tray icon to display some information? The information I'm thinking about is: - Next flush will occur in xx minutes (when defer write is active) - Whether FC is currently flushing (if defer write is active) - Which amount of the cache is in use (and for what? l...

I did use sleep - but without problems. However, I activated "Release after Write" and "Averaging Write Amount". Additionally, I increased the block size to 64 KB (from 16 KB). Unfortunately, I don't have any debug tools to know exactly, what these options do and whether they mig...

For some reason, this problem has not occured again...
I'm currently running with the settings you can find in the attached screenshot.
The system runs stable and doesn't malfunction anymore (while performing better than w/o FancyCache).

Hi, I haven't been able to try this yet, because I use this PC for my studies and carry it with me all the time. Therefore, the PC isn't running for more than 4 or 5 hours straight before it goes into Sleep-mode... But I'll try to test this and give you feedback. However, feel free to post other sug...
