fancy cache for volume feed back Topic is solved

[shiraz]

I am running fancy cache for volume on my desktop and on my laptop. Both are working great as long as I use the suggested block size. If I use a smaller block size, I get random lockups. Both systems are running SSD's and I tried fancy cache because my laptop SSD was using up more than 1% of the drive per week. I have been running fancy cache for about a month now and have used up about 1/5th of a percent over that time period. It would appear that the delayed writes have increase the life of my SSD from about 1 year to about 18 years.

My laptop is a Sony Vaio, I7-720QM, PM55 chipset, 8 gigs memory, 90 gig SSD, Windows 7 x64 Home Premium.
I am running 3 gigs in the cache, 32k block, Defered write, LFU-R, various write delays from 300 sec to 1200 sec (trying to see how long I can set it before problems start).

Desktop is Intel Q9450, gigabyte motherboard P45 chipset, ICH10R, 6 30gig SSD in Raid 0, latest Intel RST driver, Windows 7 Professional X64, 8 gigs of ram. Same setting for fancy cache as my laptop. I do not know if fancy cache is extending the life of my SSD's in my desktop, as the smart data is not avaliable in the raid configuration.

I tried fancy cache for drives on my desktop and had frequent blue screens, so I have not tried that version on my laptop as I use it for work.

I would like to have a way to flush the cache, other than that, it works perfect (the volume version).

Hi shiraz,

Thank you very much for your detail feedback.

We'll check the problems you mentioned. PS. the next beta version provides the way to flush the cache.

have added "Flush Write" button in v0.3.0.0 which can manually flush deferred write data.
