FancyCache vs SuperCache

[nanaki333]

So I tried out SuperCache and it wasn't quite what I expected. It only uses the memory, but I thought you could tell it to use a full SSD as an HDD cache. Does FancyCache allow that? I'm reading the website and the demo for the SSD/HDD Hybrid section, there's nothing there showing the breakdown like the others.

Anybody try this out? I'm going to throw FancyCache on here if it can use the SSD as a full HDD cache.

yes, fancycache allows you to cache anything with anything, provided that there is a cache in the memory as well. the feature is called "L2 cache". i haven't tried it yet, so i don't know if you can simply assign 0 MB to RAM and use L2 cache exclusively.

that's exactly what i wanted to know! that's what it sounded like on the website, i just didn't want to take super off and put fancy on only to be disappointed.

thanks!
