Intel Rapid Start Tech (L2) with Prime Cache
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2015 9:05 pm
Hello;
I am wondering about how these two technologies work together. Intel Rapid Start is implemented in BIOS. Essentially takes an amount (64gb in my case) of SSD space to act as a cache volume to a HDD. From looking through the help documents this is very similar to how L2 Cache is handled in PrimoCache.
Now, all my drives are GPT types so I can not use the L2 Cache in Primo. I plan on setting up my Wife's computer soon and she has MBR drives.
In either case I'm assuming using L2 in Primo would not yield any benefit for a drive already being accelerated by a bios level L2.
Thoughts?
