m/prefetch Alternatives
m/prefetch is described as 'utilize system built-in RAM cache feature to accelerate software open speed, by read user defined files on background every a period of time'. There are more than 10 alternatives to m/prefetch for Windows and Linux. The best alternative is PrimoCache. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try HDDTurbo or ReadyBoost. Other great apps like m/prefetch are eBoostr (Paid), WinRamTech RAMDrive Enterprise (Paid), O&O CleverCache (Paid) and MaxVeloSSD (Paid).
- 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.
- eBoostr™, working as an alternative solution to ReadyBoost and SuperFetch technologies, implements a different advanced approach to use flash memory to speed up your computer.
- HDDTurbo mainly using free RAM to accelerate hard disk read and write operations. Automatic control size of the cache in memory, without prejudice to other running programs for the purpose of increase performance as possible.

- SuperCache 5 intelligently stores frequently used disk data in system memory. The memory used to store the data is called a cache. SuperCache 5 intercepts requests for disk data and, when possible, fulfills the request using the cache instead of requesting data from the disk.
