Samsung Magician RAPID and Primocache

Post by Cachemaniak »

I'd like to buy Samsung msata EVO drive and use it with Primocache. I want to run Samsung Magician software to further boost ssd performance, more info about it here:

Can anybody tell me if this will work together ?

Samsung's RAPID mode simply uses RAM to cache their SSDs - in other words doing the same thing as PrimoCache but only working with specific Samsung SSDs, very limited configurability and far poorer performance (I see 7x-8x the performance stats with PrimoCache that SSD Review report with RAPID).

While I can't answer your question (RAPID not being an option for me with older 6xx series Samsung SSDs) I don't think there would be much point in running the two together.
