Free Cache on Written: When deferred write-data are written to the disk, cache blocks holding these data will be marked as standby blocks which will be discarded first if cache is full.

1. After written to the disk Marked blocks in cache with this data will be using or not, if cache is not full?
2. If Free cache on Written is not ticked - - What algorythm of discarding blocks first if cache is full?

Thank you)

If cache space is not full, no need to discard old cache blocks. Data are still in cache, thus in case that Windows or other applications need these data, PrimoCache can provide it directly from the cache instead of reading from the disk.

Basically, LRU algorithm is used. Least Recently Used cache blocks will be discarded first.

THANK YOU!!!
