Subjectively, eBoostr seems to be working well for me. Contrast that with the other approach, which would be to move a file into the cache as soon as it is read - possibly meaning that an infrequently-read file, which maybe you are only going to read once, will bump a more frequently-used file out of the cache.

By rebuilding the cache in batch mode (either automatically or manually) eBooster can make sure that the cache reflects the most commonly-used files. But on reflection I realised that it makes sense. Files in RAM are not cached on USB.Īt first, the algorithm struck me as a little crude. If you are using both RAM and USB caching, RAM "has the highest priority" (so gets the most frequently used files, I presume).The cached copy will not become valid again until the next cache rebuild. If the file was cached, the cached copy is invalidated. Each write goes straight to the real disk. It doesn't mess with write operations.You can also manually request a cache rebuild (if your computer has no idle time(!), or you just want the cache to reflect your most recent usage patterns). By default it will "update cache contents each hour during computer idle time automatically".RAMDisk is a program that takes a portion of your system memory and uses it as a disk drive.
