Samsung rapid mode VS Amd storemi

Sicko65

I can't find any information on if either have an impact on system performance other than load times. Does anyone know of any data points or what would happen if they were ran together VS independently VS plain ol setup? I believe rapid mode uses unused ram to boost ssd times but with ryzen being so dependent on ram would it cause any slowdowns with the typical 8-16gb ram builds? It would be an interesting video I think.

Are you thinking of using only RAM as drive cache?  Because if you're looking to use StoreMi as a caching system with a SSD and HDD then I will warn you against it.  Uninstalling StoreMi is a destructive process and will wipe the data on the drive.  

 

Separately, look into Primocache.  They do all sorts of drive caching.   Including RAM caching for drives.

Rapid mode uses ram as ssd cache. It probably isn't an option with storemi configured. I'm probably going to stick to rapid mode only but I was just curious if someone had comparisons between the two settings or with them combined. I'm happy with rapid mode on my current Intel setup but since I'm going red next week when my parts show up I was wondering if there were any real world performance hit on amd since its so tied to ram performance. I store all my games on a hdd currently since it's not affordable to get several tb of ssds. My os and non game programs are on my 860evo
