PrimoCache will log an event when it is unable to obtain the required amount of RAM. Could you follow the guidance in the link below to check if there are any events with source "FancyCcV"? If there are, please export these events and send them to support@romexsoftware.com. Also please fol...

Is there any benefit to using a L2 external NVME for both read and writing? I don't see how writing would benefit speed as the files already go from one of my SSDs to a HDD and the HDDs don't really swap files between themselves. The HDD drive speed being the rate limited step. Do you mean using an...

Do you use the "Average" write-mode? Can you upload a screenshot of the PrimoCache main dialog as described in the link below?

It seems that PrimoCache failed to allocate memory as L1 cache. Because L2 cache can start, PrimoCache will still create the cache task. That's why you see L1 is 0 but cache task is created successfully. Is your system a NUMA architecture? If yes, you need PrimoCache Pro and enable NUMA-aware. See h...

Thank you for your feedback! We will check this issue.

I'm sorry but this is not available yet.

It is recommended to use the default Windows policy in "Enable write caching on the device".

Thank you for your suggestion. Windows does not allow "direct-mapped" cache. The only thing we can do is working with Windows' built-in file cache, which should make caching more efficient.

Yes, you can just use L2 cache. This is one of the functions that the program supports.

It's better to create different cache tasks.

My first question is, what sort of performance is important to PrimoCache? Is random IO performance the most important, or does PrimoCache read/write from L1 and spinning disk to/from L2 cache in sequential reads and writes? The sequential and random read/write performance of SSD are both important...
