Hi. This is my setup. I been using this setup for almost a year.
This is a laptop not a pc.
Drive C (OS) and D (Document) is 1 nVMe drive that I split into 2 partition. Drive E (Game) is nVME.
Drive F is SDCard.

Currently this is my setup.
Total RAM is 40GB. Allocated 8GB for L1 cache and 32GB for L2 cache. I also enable Defer Write with 10s Intelligent Mode.

This is my Volume Specification setup. L2 cache for nVme would be useless so I only enable L2 for SDCard.

I relocate Temporary Files, Indexing, lots of other app caches and WinRAR extraction directory to SDCard.

L1 cache is always maxout however, L2 cache barely use 1GB.

This setup did reduce the wear on nvme. Is there anything else I can improve?

The setting seems no problem. If your RAM is sufficient for other applications, you can increase L1 cache size.

What advantages would bring turning off Windows Fast Start? I see it as an option to PrimoCache Options.

Sometimes Windows Fast Startup causes the PrimoCache L2 cache to be reset or verified on Windows boot-up. So, for those who have such L2 issues, there is an option to quickly turn off fast startup.
