    Thank you for creating this, it's a great example of write cache acceleration & how it's not all good or bad.

    I love using the 'Momentum Cache'. May all brands have an equivalent app.
    I think it uses RAM disk technolog to help speed up the SSD.
    God bless.

    Well they say it helps with cutting down writing data to the SSD.

    Nice vid, especially the surprise that even respected benchmark programs can be wrong. Make no sense that an SSD using a RAM cache would somehow be faster than directly writing to SSD.
    Don't think I'll be enabling it.

    it depends on ur bios if ur AHCi is enabled then the results will be different make sure u enable AHCI in ur bios in sata or peripherals

    Hi there, thank you for the video very good and informative as usual, I’m thinking of fitting a broadband router with no wifi and putting my virgin router in modem mode and using an additional access point for wifi, have you done any reviews on this type router and is there any you would recommend thank you. Bill

      Hi Bill, I have done many videos on Access Points. Here are a few links: ua-cam.com/video/XFNb7pggbVs/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/ChwCY0v96rI/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/gwA5KyrG2aY/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/rtzcLvOpuoU/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/12_ikhTXlTw/v-deo.html
      As for my recommendation, if you want a high end solution, go with an Asus router and if you want a solid affordable solution, go with a Tenda device

    what about using it with a SATA3 port? can it increase over 500 mb/s?

    • @KnowledgeSharingTech

      The max theoretical speed of a Sata III port is 6Gb/s which is 750MB/s . Rarely if ever do drives connected through Sata III go beyond 500MB/s even with a cache driver

    Momentum Cache only use 4GB of ram, after that it will resume to slc cache, that why the difference in between Windows Copy Files and Crystal Disk Mark(was not a fair comparison sin ur test was only 1GB in that app for games low size game it will boost them as games dont load 4gb that much

    I've been a happy user of Crucial SSDs for many years, but I recently bought a 2TB Crucial T500 and when I installed it in my laptop computer, the read speeds were great but the write speeds were slow (around 2700 Mbps) I read on UA-cam that a firmware update might help so I tried updating the firmware to the latest version, but the Crucial Storage Executive program refused to recognize the T500 as a genuine Crucial drive, and refused to update the firmware. I moved the T500 to a different computer but that did not help. So I returned the Crucial T500 to Amazon for a refund and bought a Samsung 990 Evo, which was actually $10 cheaper than the T500. The 990 Evo already had the latest firmware and it was blazing fast as the system drive. This is not a plug for Samsung (they don't need it) but I'm worried that Crucial seems to be slipping when their own Storage Executive does not recognize their own drive. Either the drive was defective or maybe the Storage Executive did not have the updated specs for the new T500.

      Thank you for sharing. I wonder if you tried to contact Crucial as they are pretty responsive.

      @@KnowledgeSharingTech No, I just returned it and got the Samsung. I still have faith in Crucial for the most part, but as your video pointed out, the Momentum Cache is not worth it for nvme ssd's (thanks for a great video by the way!) and the Storage Executive failed to update the firmware on that T500. So they need a new improved Storage Executive in my opinion.
