Need help with settings please
Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2017 12:00 am
My setup:
1950x threadripper
128gb tridentz ram
1tb samsung 960 pro SSD (main os/games etc)
8tb seagate barracuda HDD (storage)
Im interested in utilizing my extra ram, as I have just gobs of it that are unused outside of when I need it for certain work programs.
Mostly I'm interested in speeding up my main SSD, as well as reducing the amount of excess reads done to it.
Im currently using the following settings:
Lvl1 cache
OS Managed Memory 61312 mb
(Is this too big of a cache? I noticed its using half my avail ram, but I still have 58gb still available)
Lvl2 cache
N/A (should i use this for my hard disk? I don't want excessive writes on my ssd, I figured using ssd as lvl2 cache for the seagate hdd would put more writes on the ssd)
Block size 4kb
Cache Strategy read-data & write-data
Defer-Write is Disabled (Don't want to risk corruption to my OS, I wouldnt mind using this if somebody can show me how to backup my OS nightly, preferablly onto the hdd)
Prefetch last Cache and Start at windows boot enabled, lock cache content disabled.
(Am I right in assuming this will help speed load programs that I usually autoload at boot?)
Thanks for any help here
