So what about my old rig and its PATA bus? My PrimoCache target is my "Operating System and Applications" partition and I use a registred version without problem with the filling of L2 wich is on a PATA SSD partition... Clearly it needs to be a selectable option. L2 Write Behaviour Idle (...

I don't know for certain for L2, but it does for deferred writes, so I don't see why it wouldn't for L2. It makes a world of difference on those old netbooks with 16GB flash SSDs. (avg 10-20MB/sec - slower than a USB flashdrive.)

Try it and report back with your findings?

How do I get F.C. to see ANY invisible memory in my computer?!? The computer has 8GB of RAM (per sys info), but F.C. says: OS Invisible Memory - Free / Total (MB): 0 <-------------------------------------------- OS Managed Memory - Free / Total (MB): 1632 /3327 I believe that issue was introduced i...

What size cache are you using, and what amount of RAM?

I've been using it on XP SP3 for a while now - no issues, until I run out of RAM. (which isn't an issue because of how much I have)

No reading from disk is required because the data is still in memory. Windows clears the memory later on if it needs it for something else. That's why even without FancyCache, restarting a program is very fast.

This is handy for cmdline tools and stuff that may be invoked over and over in a script.

I doubt there's an easy way to fix it. WEI is a horribly coded benchmark. It's probably picking up the insane sequential / 4k speeds and figures the results are inaccurate.

NTFS compression requires an NTFS partition that journals data = more wear to SSD also the MTF wastes quite a bit of space That can't be true. fsutil usn queryjournal reports that journaling is off for my drives, yet I'm definitely using NTFS compression. (How else would I fit 600GB of Steam games ...

Some older SSDs choke if you hit them with more than one request. Perfect example - the old JMF602 and JMF602 B controllers (with 2KiB and 4KiB of cache) would often lock up if they had to process more than one request. 1 request = 1ms, 2 requests = 700-3000ms. 3 requests = oh my god kill me now. No...

If you turn on write cache with a high write latency, that'll certainly help SSD lifespan.. It'll catch many repeat writes and store them up, then only commit once. It may also allow the OS to store up a bunch of smaller writes and deliver them to the SSD in a more sequential fashion. Actually, that...

Have you looked into Link Shell ? 1) Just pick a folder on SSD1, then move it to SSD2. (C:/Programs/Steam/SteamApps/Common/GameName to D:/Games/GameName, for example) 2) Right-click the folder and choose Pick Link Source. 3) Go back to the original location. 4) Right-click in a blank spot, then choo...
