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.

    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)

            That makes sense, so its hibernation not a disk cache (kinda a workaround to the same concept, but won’t have any impact gaming)
