You can pin files into memory using vmtouch, if you like. Not sure if there is a Windows equivalent.
It would be nice if there was a resident manager that watched for certain processes to be launched and then pinned their directories (or certain files) into memory, then unpinned them when they were shut down.
- magnat 9y agoThere already is such service bundled in Windows and enabled by default - PreFetcher (in Windows XP) and SuperFetch (since Vista). It was a bit too aggressive in Vista and caused minutes of HDD churning after booting up.
- rasz 9y agolast time I checked prefetch was disabled when windows detected being booted from SSD.
- vbezhenar 9y agoI'm using Windows with SSD and I saw superfetch process using disk aggressively sometimes. I'm not sure that it's disabled, at least completely disabled.
