Any recommendations? I’ve played with StoreMI a bit but I’m looking for a more robust solution. Preferably something I can tweak a bit more and have more tiers of storage.
ZFS? This allows for (L2)ARC read caching and a ZIL/SLOG that can help in certain writing scenarios (although it’s technically not a cache)

I need a Windows solution in this case.
Ah, didn’t see that Windows tag. My b. Is there anything specific about StoreMI that you would like to tweak?

There is a Program called PrimoCache , however, it is not a free program.

Can try tiered storage spaces, may even still work with Windows 10 although not officially supported
Hi there, I am interested in the store MI technology on the new X470 platform, but noticed from the recent video that tiered storage can be set up using storage spaces on windows 10. There doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of info out there as to how to do this. Some people say you need at least 2 SSD and 2 HDD to do it while others say one of each will do.
I have a 960 evo nvme as my boot drive and don’t want to involve it in the tier, but I also have a 500gb 840 evo and a 4Tb seagate storage drive I want to use. I also want to be able to add additional HDD to the storage space as more capacity is needed. A simple storage space is fine. I don’t need mirroring as all my data is stored in a network server as well as my desktop, I just like fast local access to the data as well.
I have seen a couple of guides on how to do this on google using powershell, but I have never used it before and don’t 100% understand what I am doing.
Has anyone else done this with one SSD and one HDD or have any thoughts.
Thanks

I don’t think that works on your C drive?

Sounds like you can’t. Only other option I can think of is run Windows in a VM backed by a caching solution like zfs, lvm, or bcache.

Idk. I literally just found this on the interwebz. Don’t know much about it
