Theoretically it can help in some cases, however for general use you're best letting the OS handle your limited memory. That is, it will be faster initially and perhaps a bit longer (since some RAM is reserved) but you're then reducing how much the OS can use and at the end of the day once you hit the drive itself (SLC or QLC) it's the same speed/limit anyway. It's not necessarily psychological for that reason, it's just that you will end up at the same spot with workloads regardless if MC is enabled or not, to put it simply. Your SSD has DRAM of its own, too, but it's not used for write caching. When just using the drive itself it will eventually write to its own internal SLC cache which, while slower than RAM, is at least non-volatile.
you could have multiple drives) and if power is lost data in RAM can be lost as always. This adds overhead as the OS is still doing its things (e.g. There are some differences in how this is done, but you're basically reserving some RAM for that drive specifically rather than for the entire OS. It can definitely be way faster, but it's just write caching in your system memory (RAM). I was going to post images related to the problem but I'm not allowed to for whatever reason, probably because of my account being new. How can I fix this? Or can't I? Momentum cache seemed to provide a really significant improvement in performance, and I want it to work again if possible.
#Crucial storage executive manual driver#
This creates a feedback loop leading to the driver never "being up to date," I'm guessing just because of the different driver name notation.
#Crucial storage executive manual update#
It says my firmware is up-to-date, but it never accepts that my driver is up to date: when I update the driver, it installs 2.1.14.0, then tells me 2.1.14 is available (same driver different name?).
I also can't find anyone posting about similar issues - possibly because everyone just sets storage executive once and forgets, but if anyone has a crucial P1 1TB SSD, opening storage executive will likely present you with the same problems. This makes me think it's on Crucial's end, but I can't contact them or manually fix it in any way I can see. I've tried contacting crucial support (livechat and both of their phone numbers for tech support), it's within their hours of operation and it says they're closed for the "observed holiday" which I assume means COVID-19.Īt first I thought this was a localized problem, but I built a computer for a relative recently, using one of the same drives, and his computer had the exact same issue, in a different computer with a different drive. Over-provisioning forgets it's enabled every time I reboot or open the software, prompting me to "Initiate Over-Provisioning" which Storage Executive quickly forgets. I used to have momentum cache and over-provisioning enabled just fine - but now I get this error for momentum cache:įailed to enable/disable the Momentum cache.
