FileCacheTest Description

Advertisement FileCacheTest is a System Utilities software developed by Uwe Sieber. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for FileCacheTest: It writes to or reads from a file using different flags for for the Win32 API function CreateFile. Here is what the options apparently mean. All observations are made under XP SP2 and LargeFileCache=0 With 'Flush at finish' the Cache is flushed at the end of the write. If there is no write cache then the flush time is null or nearly null. This is the case on FAT formatted USB 'removable' drives, even with the removal policy 'Optimize for speed'. Since invended with XP this policy pretends to activate a write cache but this is true only on FAT formatted USB hard drives. On USB 'removable' drives the policies have no effect. With "create and delete files" empty files are created and then deleted. This shows if write accesses to the file system are buffered or not.
