How does primocache know what to prefetch when there is no L2 cache

Post by npelov »

Hi,

I want to know where does primocache store information on which sectors to prefetch on system boot?

The index files are kept in the folder "prefetch" under the PrimoCache installation folder.

Thanks for the reply. I was worried that they will be big, but they are not. How often does primocache write to these files? I see few gigabytes writes a day on my SSD on an idle PC and I'm trying to figure out what's causing it.

It is updated on shutdown/restart. You may use sysinternals tool Process Monitor to find out who writes on your SSD.
