Would be nice to be able to designate where files and programs were cached between memory and a flash drive. As memory is so much faster than the flash it would be nice to make sure your high use files were there and your less used on the Flash.

MemberThey are actully, its just eboostr will try to fill as much as you give it to fill. Its starts by filling the most high rated files to the fastist device you have, then fill the rest with... "junk". You can also set what programs you want to have a higher priority over the junk files by using the application priority list under options in the eBoostr: controler panel.

Beta VeteranThat's the theory. The problem is that you can't be sure or check if this is actually happening.

MemberNo theory.... go to the eBoostr: Control Panel, for example click/highlight the ram icon, then click edit -> Show cache content, this shows you whats inside that device. You can click and try your others out too.
Now if I was to ask on something for this...
In the manual form you can set the levels by 1 10 1000. Why not have something for this in the GUI too, but with another bit number? The current GUI application list only does one way, sets everything inside to 1000, why not have it be split up into 4 boxes starting from the highest prop (1000) to the lower prop levels (1). This way you can sorta split it up to more of your liking vs having alot of just 10s or 1000s.**New way**
1 = low
10 = Normal
100 = AboveNormal
1000 = High*Sorry for my english, I'm soo out of it atm lol.

Beta VeteranOK didn't know that will look at it again. No way of changing what gets cached where though.

MemberWhat do you mean? Really there's no point in giving the user that much power over where every little thing should go, to big of a head ach for a simple user that just wants to have only a few programs to have a higher priority over others. A simple priority level will do (or go with my idea and still have simple but also something for more advance users like you and me). Your higher priority all ready will go to the fastest drive you have (in most cases the ram) then onces the ram is filled the next fastest and so forth down the line. I'm just not sure if this is base on the random or the sequential I/Os... I would hope for random but most likly the sequential I/Os.

Beta VeteranCall me a control freak but yes I would like the advanced feature of being able to put files where I want them.
