Kraevin 14 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Would it be possible to add a feature to the cache, where you can set it to clear the cache on it's own, every so often? like maybe daily? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Christopher (Drashna) 633 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Set the cache to 0 bytes. (or set it very low, like 300MBs) Aside from that, the cache tries to keep frequently used data cached locally, to increase the speed of the drive (eg, decrease access time). Things like the directory lists and NTFS data are cached locally, and absolutely help with performance (especially for enumerating directories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Kraevin 14 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Christopher you are the man! i didn't even think about lowering the cache to 0! that would work perfect! I will keep it at a lower setting not at 0 though due to what you said about decreasing access time, which is a plus! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Christopher (Drashna) 633 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Welcome! If you have issues with it, you can detach the drive and re-attach it to set a different cache size. If you find a size that you feel is perfect, let me know. (for reference) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
