PrimoCache version: 2.0.0
Cache Settings: Level-2 Cache on SSD, 4KB block size, caching both read- and write-data
Windows OS: Windows 8.0
Hardware Information (CPU/Motherboard/Memory/Harddisks): Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400, Asus Benicia (OEM), 8GB (OEM), 1TB Western Digital, 128GB SanDisk SSD
Description: Whenever the computer crashes, the L2 cache is emptied. Crashing can mean hanging up and power being cut or a bluescreen.
It'd be great too fix this somehow, since crashes can happen and rebuilding 80GB of cache takes a long while.
Note that this issue existed with earlier versions as well.

That would be feature of the software design. You would not want to use cache data that is incomplete after the crash. Could lead to corrupt data on you hard drive. Anyway, you should fix your crash before using any caching software. You are asking for trouble there.

Yes, this is by design. As minhgi said, unexpected shutdown may cause L2 cache content incomplete.

Is there a way to disable this behavior? I don't care if my cache is corrupted.

Yes of course it is by design, otherwise the cache would not be deleted

My question is, can this be "designed" so that there is an option to disable the cache wipe on system crash?

Well, you cannot use corrupted cache data which will leading to fatal error. However, we're thinking to rebuild cache contents upon crash.
Thanks.

Is a cache wipe upon booting into safe mode also by design?

PrimoCache should be disabled when going into safe mode (along with any other non-critical drivers) so wiping the L2 cache would be critical here to avoid system corruption when rebooting normally (due to disk writes made in safe mode being overwritten by previous cached data).

Alright, good to know! Thanks for clearing that up.
