TheSlySyl Curious what your system is, typical use(s), and your Primocache settings? My current thinking is use R/O RAM cache on OS NVMe, maybe 20GB of my 128GB. Then use most of the 2TB 980 Pro (2nd NVMe) as R/O L2 cache for my 32TB of spinning rust, but probably(?) no RAM cache. Thoughts...

Thanks to all - this is what I suspected, but prefer hard evidence or expert opinion over my suspicions. So I'll leave the NVMe's as-is, with OS near the CPU, cache off the chipset. doubletake & Dan_D - thanks for the insight - I understand block-level stuff, but wasn't sure how many added...

FYI where the NVMe and PCIe ports are connected depends on the CPU/PCH/MoBo. My MoBo has the first 2 x16 slots and 1st M.2 off the CPU, while the other 2x M.2's (at 4x & 2x) and last PCIex16 (at 4x) are off the PCH. So putting it in M.2 #2 (x4) on mine will go twice as fast as M.2 #3 (x2). If I...

I just built an x570 MoBo with 2x Samsung 980 Pro NVMe's (i.e. everything is PCIe v4.0) - I'm getting just under 7,000 MB/s read, 5,000 MB/s write on both. So the big guys are here - WD's 850 is also supposed to be very good. I just posted a question loosely related to this if you want to look...

I just built a Gigabyte Aorus Ultra X570 MoBo with 2x Samsung 980 Pro NVMe's (i.e. everything is PCIe v4.0) - getting just under 7,000 MB/s read, 5,000 MB/s write on both. Question: has anyone ever tested the real-world performance of a CPU-connected NVMe vs. chipset-connected? The 2nd & 3rd...
