Read/Write Strategy Topic is solved
Read/Write Strategy
I was reading the configuration terms topic from the documentation and found it hard to understand what the read/write strategy means. Is it double buffering? What is the write policy? What are the performance benefits? Seeing it set by default for the "Improve read performance" configuration is even more confusing. I think you should describe this subject more thoroughly. Thanks.

Re: Read/Write Strategy
Welcome to the forums Username,
The PrimoCache Configuration Terms page has more explanation of the cache settings.
The cache "policies" are presets to simplify configuration so you should choose whichever option you consider most important. For most people, read/write would be best but if your data is critical, choose read only (to eliminate any chance of data loss from an unexpected system shutdown). Write only is for those constantly amending large files like video editing).

Re: Read/Write Strategy
Cache Strategy tells the program what type of data can be stored into cache. R/W strategy means that the program caches read-data and write-data. This strategy doesn't mean that write-data won't be immediately written to underlying disks. Even you use R/W strategy, if Defer-Write is not enabled, write-data is immediately written to the disk. So there's no extra chance of data loss.InquiringMind wrote:read/write would be best but if your data is critical, choose read only (to eliminate any chance of data loss from an unexpected system shutdown).
Only when Defer-Write is enabled, the chance of data loss increases on unexpected system failure.

"Stored" is the key word that made it perfectly clear for me. Thanks for the explanation.Cache Strategy tells the program what type of data can be stored into cache
