DataDestageSsdFillRatioThreshold equivalent for Windows 10 NTFS

Open i3v opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

This a nice article briefly explains how "destaging" works for ReFS on Windows Server and how to use the DataDestageSsdFillRatioThreshold. However, there seem to be no equivalent documentation for NTFS on Windows 10.

As far as I understand, in this case, "destaging" only happens during either Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter H -TierOptimize or defrag.exe /C /H /K /G. However, it is not documented, what "FillRatio" this optimization would achieve and how to adjust it.

This is an important aspect, because the empty space on the Performance Tier effectively serves as the write cache for the burst writes, and user might want to optimize the system for a particular known size of such a "burst write".

Also, it would also make sense to explain the data writing strategy - if all data is written the the Performance tier if there's enough space there. When WriteCache is used "only for small files that should be written to Capacity tier because there's no space left on the Perfomance tier", maybe?

Few related discussions: 1, 2.
