Question about RAM cache

By Big Muscle | December 4th, 2008 | 5:07 pm

I have a question. I use RAM cache. Imagine I have file XYZ which is used very often. eBoostr caches this file to RAM. Then I want to read this file. What will happen then?

Will the file be read immediately from cache or it will be firstly copied from cache to “normal” part of RAM and read from there?

I hope my question is understandable :-)

    Version 3 replaces partially Windows cache for files cached using eBoostr RAM device. This is done to not waste memory (not cache it twice) and to increase speed (avoid extra communication with disk devices).
    So answer on your question, file will be read directly from eboostr RAM (Windows Cache copy will NOT be created).

    Thank you for your answer. I just didn’t think “Windows Cache”, but:

    normal situation: load file from disk to RAM
    eBoostr situation: load file from eBoostr cache to RAM
