First, I absolutely positively have to have dual boot for these Windows OSes. I could explain why, but just assume that it is necessary. The system configuration includes an i7-6700K Skylake, 16GB 3200 DDR4, a GTX 1070 graphics card. For storage, the boot-system disk for both OSes is a 500GB ADATA S...

Windows Pagefile -- the one you create as "virtual memory" with amounts assigned to one or more disk. The wisdom says for a boot SSD, pagefile should not be bigger than 2GB, but there should be something there because needed for VSS. Since I have 16GB RAM and access other disks (cached thr...

Yo, Greg! I'm trying to wrap my brain around what you're trying to do. Is this a database system? Is your data stored in relational tables and files? How big is the largest file that gets loaded from these spinner drives? I could ask why so many USB3 connections, or why you haven't built some sort o...

I'm experimenting with Romex PrimoCache and learning more about different things along the way. Leaving Primo out of the equation, I'd created my boot-system disk on SATA SSD 500GB. I tweaked the SSD as usually prescribed, and particularly to set the pagefile/swapfile to 2GB for VSS and other servic...

Well, I think there are a lot of loyal customers here. Your average "Mainstreamer" user may not grasp it or see an advantage. Everyone agrees that tiered-caching or at least RAM-caching is useful for servers. Among the enthusiasts, there are a sizeable number who use it for workstations, b...

This is really quite good to know, and it would be even better if I knew when you will release v.3.0. The most of TBW for the NVMe M.2 250GB disk occurs from altering or deleting, then recreating L2 volumes. So for less than 2 weeks operation of trials and errors, I've racked up about 800GB of write...

So . . . I'm not the only one who thought of this possibility with NVMe M.2's. How big were the caching volumes? I was only experimenting with it, while using PRimo on four different machines including a laptop. I merely bought the 960 EVO 250GB with the lesser performance specs to see how I might a...

I just built this new system -- Skylake, Z170 mobo, 16GB TridentZ DDR4-3200, SATA SSD dual-boot system drive, 2TB 2.5" HDD and 1TB 2.5" HDD. For months, waiting for the release of the Samsung 960 models of M.2 NVMe, I'd been debating what to do. I decided to experiment and keep some money ...
