SSD Caching with a small 32 GB SSD

Post by megaD »

I bought a cheap 32GB Transcend TS32GPSD320 SSD and think about using it for SSD Caching.

I found a link to FancyCache here: http://superuser.com/questions/390071/h ... -hard-disk

Here my first questions:

1. How difficult is it to set my SSD in FancyCache as the cache drive? Is there any easy instruction?

2. Will SSD Caching damage my SSD over time? Will it burnout?

Thanks,

mgd

Perhaps you may wait next versions of FancyCache which will improve the performance of level2 ssd caching.
thanks.

I just went ahead with the current version and installed it.

For Level-1 Cache I defined 128 MB

For Level-2 Cache I defined 10GB each for two hard drives (I have already a 4GB page file on the SSD)

I don't feel much difference currently to be frankly. Are there recommended values for Level-1 and Level-2? I have 4GB RAM so I don't want to waste too much of it for Level-1 in case of running games i.e.
