I have a Samsung Series 7 Gamer laptop which came with Windows 8. After doing a reinstall of Windows, the ExpressCache software is no longer caching.
Running "eccmd -info" shows me that the software is present and it has the MSATA drive partition configured. However, it's not actually caching anything. These are the results after having the system booted for days:
C:\windows\system32>eccmd -info ExpressCache Command Version 1.0.94.0 Copyright¬ 2010-2012 Condusiv Technologies. Date Time: 11/3/2013 12:26:20:263 (JAMETHIEL #36) EC Cache Info ================================================== Mounted : Yes Partition Size : 7.46 GB Reserved Size : 3.00 MB Volume Size : 7.46 GB Total Used Size : 86.50 MB Total Free Space : 7.38 GB Used Data Size : 16.63 MB Used Data Size on Disk : 84.38 MB Tiered Cache Stats ================================================== Memory in use : 32.00 MB Blocks in use : 136 Read Percent : 0.02% Cache Stats ================================================== Cache Volume Drive Number : 1 Total Read Count : 97242 Total Read Size : 4.13 GB Total Cache Read Count : 0 Total Cache Read Size : 595.50 KB Total Write Count : 161546 Total Write Size : 5.89 GB Total Cache Write Count : 0 Total Cache Write Size : 0 Bytes Cache Read Percent : 0.01% Cache Write Percent : 0.00%
As you can see on the last two lines, cache read and write percent is nigh on zero. Anyone know where to look next? The only guides I can find deal with ExpressCache not being present or not having a configured drive.
