thank you, very comprehensive overview and including your personal mesurements which is an enourmous valuable input. very impressive is the ramdisk example. some months ago we fitted a 500gb nvme ssd on a pci-e card and assigned it with a software program as cache to the system drive (sata ssd). The computer is aged (10 years +) but a working horse (2 xeon e5-2650 cpu) and didn't want to start from the pci-e even after tweaking some days. It is used remotely by several users and the performance went up so impressive that they love again using it for scientific calculation. Before we were stopped by the 128GB RAM size available for that machine and always ran into cache issues via the sata interface. The installation of this virtual cache changed the situation drastically. Thank you again for the video and best wishes for christmas, Albrecht
