something like a steam game drive only one small problem Intel only officially supports optane on its own platforms and even then only the latest ones but did you know that AMD has a competing solution called store mi storm i aims to do the same thing as optane caching but with the added flexibility of using any SSD you want like this one or this one or this one so naturally we wondered what happens when you try and run Intel designed optane memory modules in a competing platform origin pc's evo 15s weighs only 4.3 pounds and features a smooth 144hz 1080p display along with an NVIDIA gtx 1070 max-q graphics card check out their latest deals by clicking the link below as usual Intel's and AMD's approaches to the problem of tiered storage have a lot in common so both take the hassle of managing two separate drive letters a smaller c drive that's faster for your os and your key programs and then a big d drive for your games and media files so basically you're combining these two physical devices into one virtual one that intelligently moves the most frequently accessed data to the faster of your drives this technology is called tiering and it has a long history in enterprise storage but there are also some key differences since AMD's motherboard division doesn't have an SSD business unit breathing down their necks to sell more more caching modules store mi can be used with any SSD tm as long as it's either less than 256 gigs or you artificially limit it to 256 gigs and as long as you have an x470 motherboard presumably so AMD can absorb the licensing cost of the third-party fuse drive software AMD's smaller software development team would be another key difference but honestly that's okay for us anyway since we're going to be using the same octane memory module for both platforms and this thing is only 32 gigs well within the limit sent to my setup is pretty straightforward you pick two drives that's the maximum in the included version you assign one to the fast tier and the other to slow and then the program goes and does its thing so we'll be using the exact same method as we did for optane testing in order to evaluate it launch six games one after the other time the load times reboot and repeat oh what just happened okay so the first run was slower than loading from just a hard drive but that's normal while the caching software learns but then the performance on the next run not only didn't improve it actually got worse except then when sometimes it it didn't honestly analyzing these numbers was like doing postmortem on like what the dog had for breakfast they're scattered all over the place with in some cases no discernible pattern whatsoever i mean then to make matters worse at some point uplay kicked us out for game assets violation and when we ran steam's integrity checker tons of the files were missing like what what happened okay it's possible we dropped the hard drive who knows things happen around here so we grabbed another one and then believe it or not things got even weirder even after untearing the drive before moving it to the other system it was not visible to the other machine other than in the UEFI BIOS Windows couldn't see it at all the only way for it to detect was by brute forcing a format of the drive using paragon then while investigating we hooked up a second drive back to the AMD test bench tiered then untiered it dropped a couple files onto it moved that to the second machine only to have it also not detect then we had to brute force format that to make it accessible again and then we dumped the steam folder onto it and upon hooking it up to the first machine we were greeted with like a ghost of the old drive contents and then this unexpected error preventing us from accessing it so okay so tldr if storemi touches your drive you cannot access it on another machine without a full format now in fairness to AMD there is a one-liner warning when you're tearing the drives up but it's still pretty frustrating with that behind us though we rebuilt a new tiered drive and got to benching again and same thing numbers all over the place and frenetic hard drive activity tick but then other reviewers were getting sent some eye to work so what's the pattern here well other reviewers tested launch times back to back as in run one app reboot observe scaling so could that be it actually yes so when we used the same approach we finally got our optane module to work with storm i but even then it took three or four runs to see the improvement and the results were nowhere near what we expected so then we got to thinking maybe store mi uses a more rudimentary caching algorithm that simply runs out of space on such a small caching drive that might explain the hard drive thrashing popping a samsung 960 pro into the machine confirmed the theory performance improved to SSD grade by the about the second run and then even further on the third and was right up there with our Intel platform plus optane so we were satisfied store am i great product actually no we were only temporarily satisfied because the untiering process took over an hour with a 12 terabyte drive and a 256 SSD so store my works but it comes with a lot of limitations unless you shell out extra money making it far from ideal and then Intel's own solution is relatively locked down so now what is there a better way perhaps we scoured the LTT forum which we should totally join bt dubs and found out about primo cash it comes with a 60-day trial so we gave it a shot and oh my god first of all its flexibility is head and shoulders above the other two so you can configure control and monitor multiple arrays you can actually mix partitions from different drives within the same array you can set detailed options for each of your configurations and you can even add drives to be cached into existing arrays and furthermore it can even use part of your system memory as a super fast extra cache and it provides monitoring of key stats like cache hits and usage second of all it's non-destructive that means that what primocash seems to be doing is copying files to the cache rather than moving them that means that uncaching is a matter of a few clicks and a few seconds of waiting since you don't have to sit there while the files re-copy from your fast storage back onto your freaking slow storage and then finally there's the performance not only did it manage to be on par with the other two solutions it also made an optane cache on AMD sing the song that store mi couldn't unfortunately taking our best case scenario on primocash and topping it up with eight gigs of our system RAM that we had to spare didn't make a noticeable difference to our testing but we're still really impressed so there you have it all three solutions can achieve similar performance so optane works really well with platform lockdown limitations storm i works well with some headaches not to mention platform lockdown limitations or that cheddar and primo cash works on everything with everything with no side effects that we observed but does cost 30 for a license after the first 60 days with that said you could just buy a cheaper board instead of an x470 and then just spend that 30 bucks on a license yeah like why not do that there's your conclusion skillshare is an online

one and our community forum which i would say occasionally but it happens more often than you'd think teaches us as much as we teach them thanks for the tip on primocash you guys yell rock"}
