I have an old 60 GB SSD for a boot drive - 60 GB kingston v300
I use primocache software and allocate 12 GB ram as a cache. The cache is placed back into RAM after each boot.

It was a less expensive and more effective option than a fast pci express boot SSD.

Boot time is as expected from the SSD.
When operating the machine the access times are much faster.

Differential backups are lighning fast.

It is free for 60 days I think you you can try it out.

It is best you post on the romex forum for expert advice on it.


I use my machine for other things as well as gaming, like virtualisation and some video processing. Spec:

i7-3770k @4.4 Ghz, DDR3 32 GB 9-9-9-24, asrock z77 extreme 6 motherboard
gtx 1070 graphics, gtx 970 (cuda/physx/flex)

I am making use of the memory as 12GB is for the cache.
The setup is 4k block size, read data & write data. 10 seconds write latency and prefetch last cache. You will know what they are when using the software. Maybe I should mention I only use the 12 GB memeory to chaceh the boot drive and not the drive with games installed.


The boot drive is a 60 GB SSD.
I have 2 other 60 GB SSDs in software raid 0. It caches a 1 TB hard drive with games and virtual drives for virtual machines.

When 32 GB is needed for games, will invest in a new drive, maybe an intel optane one if they live up to the hype.

I do not know how much memory you have on your computer. It is up to you if you want to spend more on it, but it is your concern if the performance is not as expected.

I suggest making regular backups in case data is lost when using the cache. I use macrium reflect.
