PrimoCache is a supplementary software caching scheme that cooperates with system memory to provide data caching for disks. It improves system performance by transparently storing data into memory such that future requests for that data can be served faster. PrimoCache caches data on a logical block basis (offsets within a disk) while windows cache manager caches on a virtual block basis (offsets within a file).
PrimoCache can also utilize the OS Invisible Memory which is wasted on 32-bit Windows when 4GB memory or more is installed.

Principle
One of the PrimoCache&#39;s core components is a storage class filter driver which resides in the storage stack, intercepting I/O requests for data on disk. If requested data is contained in the cache, this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparably faster. Otherwise the data has to be fetched from disk. Hence, the more requests can be served from the cache the better the overall system performance is.

CPU-X is a free software that gathers information on CPU, motherboard and more.
CPU-X is similar to CPU-Z (Windows), but CPU-X is a Free and Open Source software designed for GNU/Linux; also, it works on *BSD.
This software is written in C and built with CMake tool.
It can be used in graphical mode by using GTK or in text-based mode by using NCurses. A dump mode is present from command line.

Reports page, which shows performance over time and when/what apps/what file types were cached the most.

Diskeeper 16 is a unique approach to Defrag, the effort of arranging files on the physical disk/media to improve speed and performance.

It is a buzzword heavy product, but it has a fairly understandable premise. It combines file caching and defrag to give a noticeable boost to performance. This means it boosts SSD and HDDs, and deliver a noticeable performance boost, even with SAN/Virtual storage hosting because it works at a controller/block level.

Instead of working to arrange files after they have been stored, or restructuring the file layout for performance and moving the entire content of the drive slowly into the &quot;new&quot; alignment, it&#39;s an instant/automatic defrag by delaying and queueing writes to the disk, caching files in system RAM and aligning data &quot;live&quot;. along with a manual and idle consolidation of files to prevent and reduce fragments in the first place.

Modern HDD&#39;s and SSD&#39;s already have a similar function (NCQ), to cache read/writes and align/queue writes in a limited way. Using the CPU and System RAM allows for different strategies and pre-caching of file blocks.

IntelliMemory pools available system RAM to store frequently used disk &#39;blocks&#39; in RAM, and discards blocks that aren&#39;t as frequently accessed in a &quot;read&quot; cache, and Intelliwrite, queues and delays data in memory before it is written to the physical media in the &#39;optimal&#39; location. This prevents fragments when possible, it also allows for blistering read/write speeds for commonly used apps.

After a file has been written, by delaying the write to the drive(s) on the system (invisitasking / Intelliwrite) and waiting for the Drive to spin up or become ready to store or read data in the approximate area, this can also make laptop HDD performance a lot faster, and use less battery power as it doesn&#39;t need to spin up the drive to save data intermittently, but instead delay the write until the drive is ready to write a larger fragment of data or when an app has closed, etc.

Condusiv Diskeeper

Condusiv's Diskeeper 16 is designed to be an active defragmenter that defrags while idle, but also delays and caches read/writes by using a pool of system RAM (L1 cache) both to avoid file fragments on SSD or HDDs and boost system performance.

Improve PC performance and have the capacity you need. FuzeDrive blends Fast SSD with high capacity storage creating a fully automated single virtual drive. Unlike caching software which usually creates a transparent cache, FuzeDrive creates a new virtual storage medium, which has a combined size equal to the total capacity of the different storage media. It dynamically allocates frequently used files to the faster storage media to improve performance.

FuzeDrive (formerly StoreMI)

Enmotus FuzeDrive (formerly developed by and bundled with AMD hardware) is a storage solution aimed at enhancing the performance of slower physical harddisks (and SATA SSDs) by combining them with faster (NVMe) SSDs and RAM.
