If anyone else would like to give it a spin, Primocache has a 60-day trial on their software. I honestly wasn't certain if this was going to work when I started thinking about it, but I'm very pleased with the results. I can also verify this setup works well with SnapRAID, especially if you also cache the Parity drive(s). Network speeds are of course, still limited by bandwidth, but any local pool operations will run much, much faster. It would even work well with the SSD Cache feature in DrivePool - simply cache the SSD with Primocache, and boost read (and write if you use a UPS) speeds. For anyone looking to speed up their pool, Primocache is a viable and effective means of doing so.

Here are the raw tests on the Drivepool volume, without any caching going on yet:Īfter configuring and enabling a sizable Level-1 read/write cache in Primocache on the actual drives (Z: Y: and X:), I re-ran the test on the DrivePool volume and got these results:Īs you can see, not only do both pieces of software work well with each other, the speed increase on all DrivePool operations (the D: in the benchmarks was my DrivePool letter) was vastly greater. This pool uses a simple configuration: 3 WD 4TB Reds with 64KB block size (both volume and DrivePool). Pleasantly, I found there was a huge increase in pool drive throughput using Primocache and a good sized Level-1 RAM cache. This is because the majority of spam posts are coming from brand new users who have not read the posting rules listed above.I recently found out these two products were compatible, so I wanted to check performance characteristics of a pool with a cache assigned to it's underlying drives.
