I have an 8tb harddrive and 256gb sdd and I want to use them as a game drive on linux. I’m not sure what’s the best method for setting that up is or if it’s even a good idea.

I believe windows 11 is kinda meant to do this automatically now, which is partly why it uses so much ram when you haven’t even launched anything yet…
It seems quite bad at it however.
This tool is meant to help diagnose issues with it, but I’ve not been able to try it, as the windows 11 machine I use is pwnd by my IT department and their antivirus blocks it from running 😅:

Thats a ram cache, not a disk cache (linux automatically uses ram caches - much cleaner than windows too)
I think it saves and loads the ram cache on the disk too, or maybe I’m thinking of a different feature…
I’m not too familiar with with windows’ internals, so you youre probably right, but swapping a ramdisk would be an… interesting way to solve the problem. (Which is entirely like windows devs lmao)
I think it just swaps it on shutdown and boot.
That makes sense, so its hibernation not a disk cache (kinda a workaround to the same concept, but won’t have any impact gaming)
I think it’s called fast boot. Hibernation is slightly different.
