l2 cache --- nvm external drive

Post by fpefpe »

Hello -- I have an external nvme drive (500gb) connted to my win 10 system via usb3 port. I am using it for saving files, so can it be used as L2 cache or does the device used for L2 cache be a dedicated device?

Yes. Any faster storage device can be used as L2 cache. You can also partition the device and only use one partition for L2 cache.

thanks for the info, so if the external device is partitioned, then using the other partition for files would not be and issue? Lastly, if on OS startup the external drive with the L2 partition is not connected, will the system still work? Thanks
