Can I use a 16GB Optane Drive for Primocache

Post by davidst95 »

Hi, my friend give me an extra 16GB Intel Optane drive but my CPU doesn't support the Intel cache feature. Would it make sense to use it as a cache for Primocache for a 4TB mechanical hard drive? Thanks.

Yes, PrimoCache can support use Optane as level-2 cache for other drives. However, I think it might be kind of small to use 16GB for a 4TB HDD. Generally you can use it to accelerate the Windows OS partition or other small partitions on the HDD.
