- : So, in order, I would recommend:
-
- : 1. DynamiCache (if you can find it)
- : 2. HyperCache (ditto)
- : 3. FastCache (if you can put up with its (non lethal) problems)
- : 4. PowerCache
-
- : -- Mat.
-
- AFAIK DynamiCache does not have a write chache. I like PowerCache because
- it does have a write cache which speeds up the copying of many small files
- drastically.
-
- However, PowerCache tends to trash your disk sometimes. Hmmmm.... does
- FastCache have a write cache???
