Dual SSD plus game HD and PrimoCache

[escaward]

Hello,

I have been trying PrimoCache (FancyCache) for quite a while and I finally bought 2 copies (for my Wife and I). I have 4 kids computers that I may look into getting PrimoCache for also. Do you have volume discounts or is it just +$20 per extra copy? =)

On to my question:
My wife has an Windows 10 OS SSD, a PrimoCache L2 SSD, and a game HD with 16GB DRAM in the system. I currently am using 7GB DRAM L1 with 20GB SSD PrimoCache that is caching both the OS SSD and game HD. It seems a waste to have the L2 SSD cache the OS SSD. I would like to let the L2 SSD only cache the game HD while 7GB DRAM to cache both the OS SSD and game HD. Wouldn't this be more efficient? Is this possible?

Thanks!
Eric

If L2 cache storage volume and target volumes are located on a same SSD, PrimoCache automatically disable L2 cache on these volumes. But if they are on different SSDs, PrimoCache will let L2 SSD cache these volumes. I'm sorry that so far there's no way to control it in current version unless you create two cache tasks. We may improve it in future versions.

Why cache the OS SSD at all?
Thats surely a waste, except you aim for the RAM read cache and deferred writes to reduce wear on the SSD.
The L2 SSD cache makes no sense.

Couldn't you simply have two different configured cache tasks?
One for the SSD with L1 only (read or read/write)
One for the HDD with L1 and L2 cache (L2 cache target = second SSD) making it kind of a hybrid SSD/HDD drive.

That should work I think.

Cheers,
Axel
