Samsung 870 QVO 8TB - Improve poor write performance

Post by AchakBrooks »

Can Primocache be used to improve or mitigate the slow write performance of the 870evo 8tb ssd after it’s SLC cache fills?

Or will QLC(how it R/W) and with its internal cache prevent the improvements Primocache can make to sustained write performance?

Thanks.

PrimoCache doesn't need to know the drive hardware details. It is a software cache that sits on top of the hard drive. You can use PrimoCache with Defer-Write enabled to improve the drive's write performance. For more information about Defer-Write, please see

Absolutely, Primocache can help! It'll use your RAM to keep write speeds more consistent, even when the SSD's own cache is full. Just watch your RAM usage.
