Just a reminder, I know I've stated it in the video but please don't make your backup drive into the Level 2 cache. The Level 2 cache is supposed to be empty SSD drive. It's also always a good idea to have everything backed up just in case. PrimoCache FAQs Answered: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mfc2JKLUD4c.html
(Edit) WON'T WORK Please Importantly read this COMMENT before coping your files. IT WON'T WORK and you will LOSE YOUR DATA if you don't acknowledge this!! Omg It actually worked thank you so much! Just like most of times you find click baits more than something that can actually work. I didn't search for this and I also didn't know you can do this. When I saw you video I just said "Oh yeah quite obviously. let's just see how people are fooled by this video" and when I watched it and tried it my self woah that was a dang dang. I never experienced before so glad I clicked and Thanks again for this tutorial :) Here Are My Benchmarking Results I have a question. I want to know something but before that I would like to show my benchmarking results that I did (Real world test) I created a 35GB partition and dedicated it for Level 2 cache then assigned to my external hard drive. The write speeds were higher than yours. I copied around 60Gb (6 Files 5 52.5GB) 10.5Gb each) and 1 File 7.2GB) It was transferring at 1.90Gbs until it copied around 15Gb, then the speed dropped to 580-600mbs until 38Gb more was copied. after that, last 7Gb was copied at the basic speed of hard drive (85mbs) Total Time was It took was 3 minutes and 45 seconds First part took around 5 seconds, the second part took around 1 minutes and the last part took the rest of time. I did the same thing twice and the results were same. I believe that's probably because my cache is 35Gb. Next time I copied the same thing but not all 6 files at the same time. Instead, I copied each one of 2 files separately. I copied other 2 files and same thing again until entire 60Gb copied. first 2 Files were 21GB (10.5GB Each) Next 2 Files were 21GB (10.5GB Each) And last 2 files were 17.8GB (1 file 7.2Gb and the other one was 10.5). The first 2 files took 20 seconds, second 2 took 35 seconds and last 2 took 1 minute 5 seconds. This test was done 3 and results were same this time 3 times because while coping second time for some reason while coping third 2 files windows file explorer was crashed (Not responding ). I don't know what caused this the hard drive or what but It was not my PC's fault I can guarantee everything is brand new equipped and everything is 100% stable also this never happened before. I unplugged the hard drive and the windows explorer started responding (Working) It's might be hard disk's fault but this was never caused before it's also in a well condition and has no problems at all. One thing I noticed after connecting my hard drive back that the last 4 files I copied were lost, the folder I was coping was empty. That means we have to be careful and try not to do any other activity while the files are being copied in order to safely transfer data I was about to do the third test that could may allows us to copy it even faster but there is a reality behind this all that came out. This all shown doesn't makes a big difference yes using this method to copy files and copy files normally makes no difference other than saving you just a couple of seconds. Whaaaaa? Sound's weird right? Let me explain the reality behind this that I didn't even knew until now. Before doing the last test. If you've been read my second benchmark I've mentioned that I did it three times instead of 2 because the hard drive was crashed and when I check the folder I was coping in had lost the last 4 files I copied with the same way I was about to copy the last 2 were gone. I tried to investigate what caused but while doing that I had an idea to try the same thing again to see if I lose data each time I do it and tuned out it did. every time right after coping data if you unplug your hard drive, the data stored before gets lost, deleted, empty or what ever you call it this is why I also notice the hard drive keep running even after many minutes passed the files were copied but it was still active. what basically happens is that after you copy something into your hard drive instead of actually storing the data at the speed shown what it does is that it stores all of it into level 2 cache drive and and this is also the reason it slows down coping data after level 2 cache drive storage level gigabytes are reached what it does is that, It slows down the transfer speed and when to much amount is exceeded. As I mentioned before I have set 35GB capacity for level 2 cache drive. so when I copied 60Gb first it copied at speed but when it acknowledge that there is to much data incoming it slows down the speed and start show that now it has started coping at it's original speed in reality it never copied at that speed the hard disk write speed cannot be changed at all it may show us that the files are already copied and you will even see it in the hard drive with an actual size that you files have it will prove you the data is copied but in real it was coping at it's original speed 100mbs most of times it will take 1 minute for 6Gb but in it will just not show what its doing. it will just show it's completed and the reality will come up front when you will disconnect your hard drive, connect it back and see no data what you stored. If you want try it yourself let me tell you how to safely try it yourself first revert back changes. made by this software. Click on all the hard drive in the software and on top, in the icons area where you created new cache task click on the 4th button with the red cross sign on the hard drive, it's called "stop and remove the cache" if you hover your cursor on it you should see each one of those button's names. click on it and remove every hard drive in it. Now copy files and copy it do not move them. note the time now once you know how much time it took on default speed and make sure you copy a large file that should take at least 3 to 4 minutes so you can accurately know it if you a files copies in seconds than it wont matter rather you use this software or not because this software is pacifically made for larger files and that is only the reason for using it. it doesn't makes sense for using it to copy a file that is smaller than you hard disk's write speed so make sure you use around 3 to 5gb file now you know how much time it took by coping it at it's original speed now enable this software delate the previous copied file and copy it again from the same destination. Boom! it copied so fast WOW.... NO WAIT.. The easiest way to know is by safely removing or (Ejecting Hard Drive) do not unplug do this: go to This PC then right clicking on the hard drive and choosing the option eject and make sure before ejecting, everything that utilizes the hard drive is closed. only This PC is open where you see all the available hard drives now once you click on eject you will see the hard drive will be still connected and also it will be spinning at it's full rpm if you touch it it should vibrate if it's HDD and also the it won't be disappeared from file explorer but if let it take it's time it will eject it self right after the time that took before when you copied those files on their original speed also try coping any file at it's normal speed and then right after it's copied eject it from This PC and it will instantly eject and disappear from everywhere. Okay hope this is really help full just like it and put it on top.
@@S.M.HassanShah The reason why it's fast is from what you noticed, it's actually just storing it in your SSD cache, hence why it's fast and the files are usable because it's still getting it from your cache. The point is to leave the hard drive connected until the cache has been emptied which is copying at a much slower rate. Really it's copying it at the original rate of the hard drive, it just does it in the background. There's a physical limitation of the hard drive, hence why it's cached on something faster. Just don't turn off your computer or unplug your drive until the cache is flushed out completely.
@@landpet @landpet Yeah so I don't really think If there really is a benefit for doing this, because It won't effect on any hard drive. The speed will be the same whether you do this or you don't. If a HDD has 100mbs speed it will take 10 seconds to copy 1GB no matter what you do.
@@S.M.HassanShah Yes for it to be a real copy. But it's nice copying it quickly cause I would tend to leave my computer on for a while anyways, I prefer this personally. For someone like you that is possibly removing the hard drives, it's most likely pointless for you.
Primocache won't *drastically speed up* file transfers at all, when it matters: namely, the first time you want to transfer a file. Primocache first has to "learn" what needs to be cached, and it does that after the first file transfer. So it's basically useless for "first and only" file transfers. After that, yeah, it's great. But why would anyone want to keep transferring a file back and forth (other than to see confirmation that Primocache is working?) It also won't help at all in system boot times. If anything, it will slow down your boot time, because the Primocache app first has to load at boot, plus it has to load a filter driver. But it works great in gaming, web browsing and database applications - anything with repetitive I/O patterns.
If the transfer source device is much faster than the destination and the cache size is larger than the transfer data size, then user will observe faster data transfer and completion, but, still has to wait for the cache flush to complete. This may or may not be helpful. However, except pure data transfer tasks, almost all other computer operations will benefit from caching.
I understand what you saying BUT the DATA is not really being moved to the new drive any faster. All of the transferring is just happening in the background. Even if you only use Lv2 (SSD) the DATA has not been moved to the HDD any faster. To make that happen you need to increase the allocation unit size from the default 4k to a number equal to 256k PER DATA DRIVE in in your storage pool. This has to be done before you create the storage space OR you take each drive out of the pool one at a time, reformat each one in disc manager with the new unit size then return it to the pool. Then speeds will increase for real not a placebo effect.
Okay so let me say one thing.. Here we are using SSD for caching.... Well I agree that using SSD for copying increases the transmission speed.. But i want to point out flaw of SSD that u might have ignored is that SSD's have limited Read/Write's and frequently using SSD for caching increases wear and tear of SSD, at last your SSD might die on you at very early age so i suggest you to not use SSD for any copy work.
Sure but they actually last for quite a while so caching it isn’t going to do anything to it. Google SSD MTBF and you will see most of have an MTBF of over 1 million hours which is 114 years (some actually go much more than that). So if it was used consistently nonstop, it would have an average life of over 100 years and there are others that last much longer. What you’re thinking about is flash drives, they have much shorter lives.
you know whats sucks? I Forgot to Do Research of this Before The During Process of putting my Old Drive Files into this New 10 TB Drive i Got, So that idea of this Video throws out the window
That's insanely fast! I feel like I could just partition like 20 or 30 GB of my current SSD and use that as the L2 cache. For L1 cache, I can probably use like 4GB or so. Thanks!!!
@@emiyakiritsugu6329 L1 cache is just RAM, L2 cache is the SSD. If 4GB is enough for most of your transfer file sizes, then it should be ok but be VERY CAREFUL with any partition from your existing boot SSD. I highly recommend backing up your boot SSD before even trying anything just in case.
Generally, L2 is only needed for HDD. For SSD only L1 is enough. The idea is to have a high speed device act as a cache or buffer in the middle of even higher speed device and the slowest device.
This video is Amazing! I was transferring 19GB data from my pc to external HDD yesterday for about 3 hours. Now, not more than 30 minutes of copying another 19GB files it's already 42%! Thanks man for the this.
Primocache is awesome. However, putting SSD as a writing cache is a very risky step as it will simply kill the SSD due to overuse. It will work awesomely if it was reading cache. RAM writing cache for 1GB is more than enough for any HDD.
There is also free alternative for SSD cache ( without RAM cache ) from Intel & AMD. For intel motherboard it is Intel® Smart Response Technology ( SSD & HDD must be connected using Intel Controller on motherboard ) and in some cases you must choose RAID mode in BIOS instead SATA to see "Performance" tab in ISRT panel. For AMD motherboards you can use AMD StoreMI - The new version supports only selected motherboards, but it seems to me that the previous version from six months ago works with more motherboards.
Great vid... really helped a lot. To the point instructions and it worked like a charm. In my case, I had created a separate 50 GB partition of the primary SSD and used it as a L2 cache.
I have to say, I was trying to move all of my movies and tv shows from an old external 3 TB drive to my mass storage pool that I just created of 7TB. Before this solution, I had to transfer one smaller folder at a time or the speed would crash to zero and everything would freeze up. Using this method, I used my 1TB SSD that wasn't really doing anything as the cache with 12GBs of my 16GB RAM capacity and its now transferring 800+ GBs at a much higher speed than it was. Still not 1GB per second but higher than it was and at a consistent speed.
It helped the speeds went up to 1.20gbps but then after like 2-3 seconds the speed drops to 120mpbs and then another while goes back down to stock speed and also its not on full cache usage someone please help 😭😭
Hi! Thank you for the video :) I follow the steps but it does not work. I reserve 114 GB on partitioned ssd and 24 Gb of RAM but still get slow speeds (56 mb/s on paried storage Pool) When i set to "mirror" on storage i can get 180 mb/s. I am using Samsung EVO 860. Is there anything else i can try? Thanks again!
This method biggest downside is that the device needs to be turned on until the whole process reaches 0 in that primocache software. Only then we can close the device
Yes, this thing is more designed for internal devices so you won't have to worry too much about it. Just leave the computer on and it does things in the background
THIS IS ALL NEAT AND NICE BUT IT'S A DREAM BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MOVE MY MUSIC FILES FROM HDD TO EXTERNAL HDD AND FOR THE 11 PARTS THAT HAVE COMBINED SIZES OF 1.5 GB FIRST NOTHING IS HAPPENING THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT STARTS AT 355 KB AND TIME REMAINED SAYS 1 DAY IT IS TO GO COMPLETELY LOOPEY
Yes, I don’t recommend partitioning your c drive but I did recently do a video on how it’s done. Yes any partition will work. Here’s the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9iT-a89DvNs.html Btw you can get away with just using RAM (level 1 cache). Obviously level 2 cache helps buts it’s not mandatory.
Ram caching makes a huge difference on VMware and Virtualbox machines. You restart the OS on them and barely see any disk activity. Basically the virtual windows becomes faster than the main one.
WOW i didn't think i would see any difference but i cant believe how responsive laptop is now, and i didn't bother using a harddrive i just sacrificed 4gb from my 20gb to create my cache and dam... copying, transferring even opening up large photoshop files is so much quicker...aah man this was a good one
It seems like it isn't real, if you unplug the drive, wilm the files be corrupted? This makes it look like it transferred faster, but if the file isn't physically (i guess physically is the better term for this application) in the drive, then it can't be claimed a faster write speed because the files aren't done writing.
I don't recommend this for external drives since as you mentioned, if you unplug the device, the files will be corrupted until the cache is emptied out.
Is L1 cache enabled without the use of PrimoCache? Or is it enabled via the software... I feel like that would be super useful to allocate a few GBs of my RAM to L1...
This is a primocache thing. Of course ram does store temporary files to access things quicker without peimocache but it's not used as cache for speeding up writes to spinning hard drives.
i use a 1 tb hdd, its the same again, starts of at 1 gbps, then hits an average of 70mbps, sometimes it touches a low of 0 mbps, pls help, and the software was working properly i check task manager, almost 80% memory usage and 100% disk usage, its a 3.0 cable. help please :( (if i leave it normally without the software it starts at like 1 gbps then gives a average of 30 mbps, sometimes even 15 mbps help pls) and it does not show level 2 storage, maybe because i use the free version?, and cache-hit rate for me is like 3% why? i have 8gigs of ram, 4 gigs of vram.
I don't know about the free version but if you're referring to write cache, you probably run out of it so it just slows down. That's why I used a large amount in my case.
Wrong and stiped!!! This is good for this scenarios and bad for everything else related with OS. What if I turn off write cache option from all my HDD/SSD? What If I turn of paging due to I have large size of RAM? The OS will increase RAM usage. This mean your video presentation as example is not best practice. In fact it is worst for personal computer.
Not a good idea to use RAM if you're maxing out constantly, this is for scenarios where you have more RAM than you actually use most of the time. I usually copy/paste vs cut/paste, that way if I turn off the computer for any reason, my original data is still there and I can restart the transfer. This is good for people that have large secondary spinning hard drives that want to speed them up with a simple SSD and/or RAM that is readily available.
If you can’t see it, you most likely made your usb drive the level 2 cache. Was that your intention? The n this video, I clearly explain that one drive will become the level 2 cache, my SSD in this video which is empty. I show that it disappears when you make it a level 2 cache, that’s the drive that will be deleted and used as caching to speed up the spinning hard drive. You don’t want to delete the hard drive that you are trying to speed up. If you watch the video without skipping anything you will see I clearly show all of this.
I have a 120 GB SSD and only 3.9GB usable ram. I will be partitioning 16 so that I can boost my work files only I don't actually know if there is any risk doing it so please let me know how to not destroy my pc yet make it faster
The risk is to not erase the hard drive, if you go over my instructions I do clearly lay it out. However I always recommend backing up your files somewhere else just in case. For your 120GB SSD, is that your C: drive? If so, you can partition it but it's something I don't recommend even though I have a video on how to do it
Thanks for the vid. i have a massive 6TB graveyard drive that is quite slow (average 35mb/s write). the cluster size for the drive is 1024kb. When i try speeding it up with the process from your video, i run into problems where the transfer rate falls all the way to 0mb/s which freezes primocache and causes me to restart my pc. i feel like there’s obviously something i’m doing wrong or missing. would love any feedback, can give you more info if you need !
Yes, that's exactly it. Your cache space must be running out, so you need a larger amount of cache space or reduce the file transfer size until the cache has emptied out.
its way to great if someone know a bit about tech & love playing with it, the only question i need to ask like recently i transfer 5tb data using same method & i had to keep my pc on for many hours as the process taking huge resources , so how 1 should know that its ok to disconnect
5TB is a huge transfer, unless you have that much cache setup, there's not going to be too much of an advantage to this method. This method really helps out when you are transferring files smaller than your cache, then things move along quickly. It's just best to keep your computer on until it's done.
So I have been enjoying using this for a hard disk drive but trying to use it for an SSD and it only works about every 2 minutes and then slows down. Trying to transfer a terabyte quickly.
@@landpet wow that makes a lot of sense So I guess it would be best to transfer one video at a time instead of all of them at once. Kind of defeats the purpose though I just turned the cake off for the drive where I am doing transfers too. It was a SSD anyways
Didn't work for me... the Cache Hit Rate was at 0,21% only, yours for some reason was at 99%. I did a partition of a SSD with 200gb free size and didn't work.
But I was moving from a drive to another, you just copied and pasted in the same drive, so I guess that might affect too. I did selected the both drives when I started a new cache task.
@@landpet Thanks for the reply! I have a couple of more questions, - How do I know when the file transfer is actually complete and the cache is emptied? In other words, how do I know when I can unplug the usb? - I was copying some game files to an external drive and when I looked at the progress bar of the file copy, I saw a pattern. Every once in a while, it drops to 0 bytes/s, and then it stays there for a while. After that, it shoots back up at around 300-600mb/s. It never goes up above 1gb. Also I was using L1 (RAM) only and not using L2 (SSD). How can I speed up the transfer and why does it do this pattern? Here is the link of the image of the progress bar: imgur.com/a/cwfjG9Q Edit: I forgot to mention that I have 8gb of ram and allocated around 5gb for the file transfer.
Check primo cache to see when the deferred blocks are completed. I believe that’s too little ram for your laptop. If you reserve 5GB, that leaves 3GB which is not really enough for windows. Try reserving 2GB or 3GB and test that out. At the end of the day, I don’t think you have enough resources, your run out of cache which is why it goes to 0
hmm this programm is useles becose its even slower then normal copy it shows only it copy fast but its copyyng in background after it shows is donw so why even use this programm??
If you use enough cache, it should speed up the copies however as you mentioned, it's more of an illusion than anything else. But it does help speed things up.
Yeah right, while you "think" the file is moved and the computer is still working sneaky to copy in background, suddenly you have power outage, the computer turns off and afterwards you will trying to discover where the f.. are your files.. software accelerators looks nice but actually are not safe in terms of any redundancy. If you want speed get fast nvmes or thunderbolt drives everything else is for just playing on your free time
Great video . am getting message Kernel component is not running! if you haven't restarted the computer since installation, you shall restart it. but I have restarted it but still the same message. Help.
Thanks! not sure why you're getting that message, I haven't seen anything like that. Assuming you followed everything here and it's not working, it's probably best you ask PrimoCache directly.
@@landpet thanks i got it sorted when i paid for the full version. I followed your video but am only getting about 150mbs speed with 100gb ssd and Exos drives. Am i doing something wrong.
Nice tutorial dude but i have a question. Since im going to be using this cache for games i want it to remain even after a reboot (ram is volatile so it would erase all the cached data on it upon power off) so how i can i make sure the cached data is written entirely to the ssd while still using ram to speed up the drive? I hope you got my point xD
If you have extra RAM and your game doesn't take too much space. It would actually be faster if you used this software called RAMDISK. It reserves your RAM and makes it act like a hard drive, you install directly on this and when you load the games, it is beyond fast. I haven't used this yet but I imagine it reserves some hard drive space to store the ge there as well so after power cycles it will reload the game to RAM since As you know RAM is volatile memory. Here's the link: www.softperfect.com/products/ramdisk/
I did a primocache FAQ video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mfc2JKLUD4c.html You can undo the cache portion and make a larger cache drive or cache it for another drive. Just be SUPER CAREFUL and I would backup all data before attempting.
MAjority off ssd already does this !!! samsung 860 evo as a option to use 1gb or more off system ram and i get faster than nvme speeds !! this program is useless because the first time you write a file primo cache as to learn ,only the next trasnfers are fast !!! but who gonna keep transfer the same files back and fourth ?
Sorry to hear that. I don't know what you did to cause your laptop not to open. Did you possible erase the wrong drive? If so, it's best to call your computers manufacturer. Hopefully you backed up your data on something else that you have handy, if that's the case most laptops have recovery modes where they do a fresh install however everything gets erased on that drive, so don't do that unless you know you have everything backed up on some other drive. If you're not sure, it's best to call the computers manufacturer and ask them for guidance.
Good day sir...i bought a samsung 860 evo 1tb ssd and put it on an orico 3.0 enclosure for external usage and im just getting simetimes 2mb/s mostly 56mb/s and rarely 79mb/s at top speed when transffering files to the ssd...i am worried that i might have a defective ssd or something...is that normal for converted ssd's..?thank you sir...
Are you using a USB 2.0 port or USB 2.0 cable? If so, then yes it's normal. Verify you're using USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 cables and ports and it should speed up.
@@landpet i am using a 3.0 cable,port and ssd case...i am worried that i might have a fake samsung product.and also samsung magician program says that the ssd is not supported.
Makes sense, I think most people don't need something that large, in my case at the time, I had no other use for it and speeding up my much larger collection of hard drives that was over 20TB of space was an easy decision.
please help me i think hacker just did this. i already uninstall all of the part of primo cache but it still appear please i just so confuse who did this
Just need to go to programs and features to uninstall it. A restart should remove it. You may need to delete the shortcuts. I’m not sure how your setup is so this is all a guess. You can always connect primocache support and they can assist you with this process.
@@rjaylabios71 Not sure I understand, if you're referring to creating a level 2 cache from your empty SSD (want to reiterate "empty") to speed up an existing spinning hard drive, then that's what I'm explaining in this video.
"4kn drives are not supported"* Know any alternatives? Other caching software that doesn't have this limitation? *#016 Using 4Kn (4K native) drives might cause data corruption. Cause: PrimoCache currently doesn't support 4Kn drives. You may check if a drive is working in 4Kn mode by following steps. 1) Open the command prompt with administrative privileges, 2) Type the command: fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo X:, replacing X to the drive that you would like to be cached. 3) Check the values of "Bytes Per Sector" (not the "Bytes per Physical Sector") in the output results. If the "Bytes Per Sector" value is 512, then the drive is supported. If it is 4096, then the drive is a 4K Native drive and so far PrimoCache doesn't support it.
There are others but I'm not sure if you would hit the same roadblock. I read a lot of good things about PrimoCache, so this is the only one of its kind that I'm familiar with.
hi my hdd start transfer data very fast about 70 mb/s then it goes down to about 350 kb/s and then 0. if the file is smaller than 50 mb it is may succeed to be transfer otherwise it fails and multiple small files treated as a one large file. the problem occurred in WD purple 6TB sata3 hdd and mother board ASUS m5a88-m chipset AMD 880G any suggestions
My assumption with the limited information is your cache is being exceeded. If you increase the size of your cache or decrease the size of the files you're transferring it should work
Technically it can as long as you have enough cache but I don’t recommend this for network drives in case something is disconnected before the cache is empty.
Whether you use this or not doesn't matter. The time it takes for your storage to transfer stays the same. Transfer speeds are limited by your storage devices. PrimoCache does not increase these speeds but rather puts the data you want to use in your memory or ssd and then cycles it out to the hard drive. It might SEEM like you have increased speeds but you don't really. The only advantage of using this program is that you can manipulate data while it is being transferred. Whether you can only play media files like shown in this video or also for example extract files from an archive while it's transferring I don't know. Also understand transfer speeds in your case will also depend on the bandwidth available on your network at the time of transfer. Not that this matters when using PrimoCache because again, it doesn't actually transfer data faster than normal.
😭 hi i did this one hoping it would speed up my transferring process but sadly i lost all my files and my pc stuck on *automatic repair* and cant even reset it😟... ... i would like to ask if having it backed up with new windows 10 os will make my pc work again?? 😭 Can someone help??
I'm sorry to hear that, it sounds like your SSD wasn't empty when you converted to L2 cache, that's the only drive that gets erased in this process. I warned against doing that in the video saying to do this on an empty drive and saying to backup your data regardless. In addition, I have a pinned comment as well saying something similar. The only thing I can suggest at this point is to use some recovery tools, maybe minitool power data recovery or wondershare recoverit but nothing is guaranteed.
So how do I know when it’s fully done caching? So I don’t make a mistake and turn my pc off thinking it’s done?

Is there any possible way that I can reserve just n only through RAM as expansion - 64GB 2666mhz, between drive to another while transferring data, cuz firstly Ive had 500GB NVME as (C;), alongside with 1TB NVME as (D;), i saw around 4++ mbps while transferring, then when it comes to SSD it drops till 150-250mbps, so when it comes to 3TB HDD as (E:), couldn't even make it up to 30mbps only
So I have a game storage of 500GB which can move, If I used this program and I delete the program once I moved the files over and it would affect anything ?
If it’s on level 1 cache (RAM), you will lose the data, if it’s on level 2 cache, it should still be there. To be safe, I would use copy paste instead of cut paste
For most people, it won't, SSDs are designed to last a very long time and have a good amount of TBW (the lower end SSDs can support an average of 200TBs of data written with some having much more like the Samsung 980 Pro having around 1200TBW rating) so chances are it will be fine unless you write many terabytes of data quite often.
All I need is to speed up, like 1 only hard drive, like example I got hard disk D and I got a 1 file all I need to do is my file transfer to same drive hard disk D.
You need a SSD (Solid State Drive) to be used as Level 2 cache to be able to speed up your HDD (hard disk drive). Do not format the HDD you're trying to speed up. You can also just use Level 1 cache (your RAM) assuming you have extra to speed up your HDD. In either case, do not format the HDD you're trying to speed up. Hopefully this makes sense, if not please re-watch the entire video, in this video I used a 1TB SSD (that's empty) to becoming my L2 cache to then speed up my HDD. I don't format my HDD (just so happens my HDD's are also empty).
I am trying to transfer a 4.4gb DVD full of pic files (JPEGS) to a flash drive, but it has taken 3 hours so far. There are 27,000 files on the DVD. How do i increase the transfer speed so that it takes a lot less time to transfer files from my DVD to my Flash drive?
So a few thing worth mentioning. 1. DVD drives tend to be slow because the dvd needs to spin for it to access the data 2. 4.4GB of small files (27,000 files) is going to slow it down further. Each file has its own metadata, so you have 27,000 files of metadata which has its own header start bits, CRC or something equivalent, etc Transferring 1 file that is 4.4GB will be much faster than transferring many small files that add up to the same size because with the 1 big file, you only have 1 metadata, only 1 check needs to be done to verify the data, etc 3. Even if you speed up your flash drive, the bottleneck is the dvd with the many small files. So how do you speed that up? It’s hard to do unfortunately, if you get a dvd drive with a faster read speed, that should help. If you get a faster flash drive (check to see if the flash drive is at least usb 3.0) or just copy to an SSD, you’re still bottlenecked by the read speed of the DVD and the many small files. Go to task manager and see if any of your computer parts are at a 100% utilization, if so you can upgrade that specific part.
@@landpet It's weird bbecause i have a wdmybook, seeagate, not sure what type of ssd this is, my internal hard drive from my old 2007 dell, all connectewd through usb 3.... and none of them will transfer more than about 20mb/s. I just got rid of primo cache cause i was just trying to move around 3 TB of stuff and i didn't want it to take forever. But it's done now. But the drive i used as the level2 will not show back up. Under system properties and system protection, protection settings it shows it's there and says missing. How do i get this back? I even took that ssd out and put in place my ps4 hard drive cause i don't use my ps4 anymore and it still won't show up, but it still sais missing under protection settings So do you klnow how to get it back? I don't even mind if it has to wipe it cause there's nothing on either the ssd or the ps4 hard drive anyways.
@@MrClockw3rk It is sped up because the files are all usable once the fast transfer has completed, it just then copies it in the background while you're doing other stuff. There is a physical limitation on the hard drive that software can't fix, this offsets that.
