Re: Is it good idea to use same disk as L2 cache?

No. L2 is designed to use fast drives to speed up slow drives. Using a slow drive as L2 will slow down the target drive.

Re: Minimize Cache pollution ..

Sorry for the delayed response as our offices were closed during the recent public holiday period. We hold a different perspective on this matter. Leaving cache space unused is inefficient, as storing data in RAM cache involves minimal performance cost. However, when cached data is accessed (cache h...

Re: Does "Clear Cache Content" flush defer write before clearing?

PrimoCache will automatically flush all deferred write-data to disk before clearing the cache contents. No need to manually flush before clearing content.

Yes, split HDD in two partitions.

Re: Getting started to PrimoCache on Windows Server 2022

1. I wonder if is it reacheable to make file-level rules to defer-write cache, so I can exclude database from the defer-write OR... Currently, this feature is not available. However, if feasible, you could separate the user profile folder and database folder into two distinct volumes. This would al...

Re: Dedicate RAM channel to cache

I'm sorry I don't quite understand your question. Do you mean you want to only use RAM in one physical memory stick? PrimoCache doesn't support this because it uses Windows API to allocate RAM.

Re: Numa and CPU

For a caching program, it is difficult to predict which node's memory is better for cached data. Applications running on different nodes may access cached data at the same time. The cost of switching application to another node far exceeds the cost of accessing FAR memory. So we have to evenly alloc...

Re: How to retain cached data as long as possible

I have a 1TB NVMe SSD used as cache to accelerate my 8TB HDD, when the data is in the cache driver everything read write is quick and fast, but I noticed PrimoCache peroidically clean or flush the cache (I see it when the unused space got increased), how can I tell PrimoCache hold on to the cached ...
