Hey All,

 

So to start this is my current PC https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/HBw6Mp

 

I'm wondering what the best solution for a speedy, large capacity game drive is? Currently my games are stored on a 1TB 2.5" SSD but that is quickly filling up. I've heard of AMD StoreMI and PrimoCache but don't really know a whole lot about either. I've heard StoreMI has limitations and can be a bit clunky though. Are either of them any good?

 

Or does anyone have any other solutions?

 

Ideally I am looking for something similar to Optane. I'm hoping to have like a 10TB HDD wtih some sort of cache so that its still quick if that makes sense.

PrimoCache super simple to set up. Personally i have all my games i want to have quick load times on a ssd and the rest on 3 x hdd set up in raid 0.

I literally just set up primocache earlier this week and absolutely love it. I'm using 90gb of my Corsair MP600 and 5 out of my 32 gb of ram to accelerate the drive. First loads are sometimes a little slow, but the next load is sooo fast. I ended up allocating another 5gb of ram to accelerate my main drive since I'll never use more than 16gb. 

 

*I'm accelerating a 2tb 5200 HDD that was super cheap. (it came out of one of those mobile hard drives enclosures).
