NVME L2 cache for SATA SSD array
NVME L2 cache for SATA SSD array
Hi, I'm wanting to know if it's possible to setup an L2 cache for reads and writes on an NVME drive and have my main array a SATA SSD based one as the speeds between the two are vastly different and I'm wanting to use all three levels to get most out of the PC with what I have
Re: NVME L2 cache for SATA SSD array
Yes, you can use a fast ssd as L2 cache to speed up relatively slow drives.
Re: NVME L2 cache for SATA SSD array
you absolutely can, I use a NVMe drive to cache an iSCSI volume that I host on my NAS
50/50 read/write

50/50 read/write

But you specifically use NVME SSD to speed up SATA SSD arrays?Support wrote: Sun Nov 03, 2024 3:33 am Yes, you can use a fast ssd as L2 cache to speed up relatively slow drives.

If you're using Linux, tools like Bcache, dm-cache, or LVM with caching can set up your NVMe drive as a cache for a SATA SSD array

PrimoCache does not need to check what drive is used as L2 cache. For it, any drive that Windows can recognize can be used as L2 cache.Kodaz wrote: Mon Nov 04, 2024 4:23 pm But you specifically use NVME SSD to speed up SATA SSD arrays?
