MVMe disks raid 0 - a benefit for a cache?
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2020 11:01 am
Hello
here is my computer spec:
Windows 10 2004
3600X CPU
ASUS B550-E gaming motherboard
32GB DDR4 3200 cl14 memory
GTX 1080 ti CPU
Storage:
2 x ADATA 256 GB MvMe SX8200 PRo
4TB sata SSD storage.
Presently One drive has windows and the other has linux.
I may use another machine for linux and just use it for windows only
Presently I use a 150GB partition as a cache on the windows drive.
It caches 4TB of sata SSD drives.
I want to:
Reinstall the OS in RAID 0 NVMe with about 120GB used for the operating system. The rest I use as a cache for primocache.
I am aware of the risks of using raid 0.
I use windows for games only so it will be a gaming machine.
I am maybe looking to get the flight sim 2020 and it needs very fast storage.
Is anyone doing anything similar?
The minimum raid allowed block size I think is 64k.
Would that mean the primocache size should be 128k.
When a block is read/written I guess both are at once.
Is that a reasonable assumption?
Useful info appreciated.
Thank you
