Hi All,
I'm new to Primocache and am using it to cache games. I have a 4TB HDD with the games installed on it and a 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD set up as the L2 cache drive. I'm just wondering if I've done the settings correct/well or if there is things I should change? Also is an L1 cache of any use for my scenario? I do have 32GB of RAM so I can definitely spare some for an L1 cache if it benefits me.
My specs:
Ryzen 7 3700x
32GB 3600MHz RAM
RTX 2070 Super
4TB HDD for games, 1TB SSD for caching and 1TB NVME SSD boot drive
I think your configuration is good. If G drive doesn't store important data, you may increase the defer-write to 30s since you use 6GB L1 cache. This may improve the write performance.

Okay thank you. G drive just stores games and there save files. Nothing else. To be honest I wasn't even sure if an L1 cache was even necessary for my use case?
You enabled Defer-Write so L1 is useful for write caching. L2 is set by default to cache read-data only in order to avoid too much write wear on the L2 SSD device. If L1 is not set, then Defer-Write is actually off.
