Few questions

I just got a new job to be a network admin, but I still help with building computers that will be used for customers.

We're building a work station for a 3d designer. His work load requires to load gig size files that he would like to have open up on the spot if he needs to show off his work to other customers. I know this software can use both ram and a SSD cache allowing his computer to take full advantage of the total resource of the computer.


1) When or can we see a price point soon, or better yet, a pre-own price so we can buy/start using this software for customers?
2) Can this software use raid drives as the L2 cache? For example, raid 2 SSD together and then use the L2 for read only speed boost? (We're talking about 500MB + x2 read speeds).
3) Have you fix or even work on SSD Persistent yet?
4) Will you support/already support a project pool? For example, 1GB of ram that each cache drive will use instead of using 1GB x 4 drives (4gb of ram), you use 1GB for 4 drives (1gb of ram).

Sorry. I haven't been to the site for a long while now. I have been busy with life, work, and programming. I do check up, but mainly to get updates on the software. I love the software, but wish there was a bit more selectable options xD. We do plan of using this software for our 1k + builds. The benchmark we can show customers will make their jaws just drop :D

Either way, thanks if you can answer these questions support.

So far the answer is no.

PrimoCache already supports.

PrimoCache already supports.

Also, what about price?

As well, what is stopping it from using 2 SSD in raid? Looking around here, I did fine a post saying they did it in a software raid?

I'm sorry that the price is not finalized yet.

Technically, it is possible to support raid as level-2 storage. It is just not supported in current version.

When you do set a price, please don't limit purchases to Paypal only - they've blocked purchase attempts from me for some years now (yes, I use an anonymising proxy for network access).

When I picked up a copy of Primo Ramdisk, I was able to do so via Romex's ShareIt/RegNow page, but that is not accessible via the Buy/Upgrade page. I would suggest re-linking that page and making it an option for Primo Cache, when you start accepting orders.
