Windows write-caching enabled or disabled?

Post by Engineer »

Having a bit of an issue with Windows 10 Pro write-caching enabled alongside PrimoCache v4.3.0:
If Windows write-caching is enabled, large file transfers (~30GB+ system backup files) across my local network from computer A to computer B will cause destination computer to reboot.
If Windows write-caching is disabled, large file transfers work fine.
Transfer speeds seem identical whether Windows write-caching is enable or not.

Should I be able to run with Windows write-caching enabled? If so, is there an advantage?

Thanks!

It is quite weird that file transfers can cause the destination computer to reboot. Is the destination computer also running PrimoCache? If not, you may check the health of the destination computer first by following the instructions in the page below.
