I used to run it too. But nowadays with fast SSDs I don't see a reason to use it anymore.

If I had a spinning hard drive as my main, I'd probably want something like PrimoCache. In my current system I've got two Gen 4 NVME drives so I don't think I need it, but I have friends who are still using platter drives so I'm following this to hear about how well it works.

Well, you got an SSD that's probably better with writes than mine, because yours is 2 TB. But, there's also a read-only-cache, where I can see it helping with systems having a lot of RAM. I use mine to help with writes. Got a very small one configured right now.

Now, I can see more RAM used, even at idle and not stress out. ;)
