Re: NVMe to choose for L2 storage?
Hi I am finally getting round to putting my large steam collection onto a NAS, specifically truenas scale. It will be an ISCSI block share (deduplicaton & compression on the Server). On my gaming machine, are looking to get a 500 - 512GB Nvme for a cache drive. It will be put into a PCIE NVMe a...

Re: How to map the entire C:\ Drive to Primo RamDisk during system boot?
Dear Support Team, I recently installed Primo RamDisk and would like to know the steps to configure it to map the entire C: drive to RamDisk during system boot. I would like to back up the RamDisk contents to the D: drive during shutdown. I understand that this may slow down the initial boot-up and...

Re: How to set custom, very large block size?
I'm not following at all. PrimoCache is exactly what I need, except the block size is too small. Why would i need to pre-cache the file? Caching is PrimoCache's job. VLC will demand the file blocks off the hard drive, and PrimoCache will load the 10mb blocks on demand into RAM (caching them). Once ...

Re: caching behavior with windows built-in cache; and other generic questions
Now What would be the best way to "freeze L2 cache" to have it serve read-only cache and not gather any new data to cache, while still allow L1 cache to take in defer write + serving cache? - if cache isn't frozen, after I wrote 25GB to F:, it will cached in defer-write L1, and if the 25G...

Re: caching behavior with windows built-in cache; and other generic questions
Only concern is, you and past support responses has always been very critical about defer write + infinite interval. Are there any concerns for data integrity? I don't mind occasional performance hit when large urgent write happens, because it's in a very controlled enviroment with large L1, but so...

Re: caching behavior with windows built-in cache; and other generic questions
Thanks Support, It seems like I only encountered BSOD under very long flush, that is probably more than 10+ minutes. I am not sure under such extreme condition would have unexpected behavior even with the mechanism implemented, I don't know if I would want to try to reproduce the issue, but maybe I...

Re: caching behavior with windows built-in cache; and other generic questions
From my observation correct me if i am wrong, primocache will save anything regarding disk activity that it can record(excluding read activity served by windowsd builtin cache since it doesn't see it), into L1 as long as it has space, but things I would like some explanation is that, once L1 is ful...

Re: caching behavior with windows built-in cache; and other generic questions
This behavior is fine, but the issue is that, primocache is only flushing, on the windows's blue screen(NOT BSOD) of spinning "shutting down" or "restarting", at this point there is nothing the user can do to stop windows from trying to restart while waiting for primocache to fl...

Re: caching behavior with windows built-in cache; and other generic questions
For the flush on shutdown: You can set the time that Windows will wait for services to shut down, before it starts killing them. The registry entry is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control] and the value (32 bits DWord) WaitToKillServiceTimeout The value is the time that windows wil...
