Can Primocache AND Ramdisk work together?

[toad004]

I'm trying them both out. I noticed that Primocache didn't allow Ramdisks to be selected to cache. I'm not sure how it chooses - perhaps it does a quick speed test and any disk that's "too fast" is rejected? It recognizes Ramdisks from softperfect and Dimmdrive, so it's not just communicating with Primo Ramdisk.

However, if a drive it's caching has symlinks to drives it's not caching, will Primocache know? Specifically, I have Google chrome in my Primo ramdisk. Not just the browser's cache, mind you - I mean the entire darned program, down to the exe and the userdata, because why not when you have 32 GB of ram? But I'm forced to move everything using symlinks, because Google FORCES you to install to its preferred location, whether you like it or not. Thanks Google . Will Primocache "know" Chrome is on a ramdisk and not cache it?

PrimoCache and Primo Ramdisk can work together. PrimoCache can recognize SCSI ramdisks. DirectIO ramdisks don't act as real disks, so they are not recognized. But I don't think you need to cache a ramdisk.

However, if a drive it's caching has symlinks to drives it's not caching, will Primocache know?

PrimoCache only caches data stored in the target drives. If real data are stored in non-caching drives, PrimoCache won't cache these data.

All of my drives are Western Digital Blacks, which I'm quite certain are cashing drives. How would I know if drives are cashing or not cashing?

@Amerifax, here "cached drives" refers to the drives/partitions cached by PrimoCache software.
