The Rootkit will blind write to the first 16-128MB of any drive. Including SSDs. Behavior was, it would routinely write over the cache, causing Primocache to drop down to 40% or so, after having achieved 90% percent hit rate.

Rootkit is a malware, so preservation of data is not it's goal. UEFI/EFI, Windows (10/11) doesn't protect additional drives. Possibly even the boot drive can be infected, once it takes hold.

PrimoCache cannot tell which data is useful and which is harmful as it's not an anti-virus software. Users need to check the computer to prevent infection.
