Up until recently I didn't have enough memory to worry about caching my hard disk. I have read in MacUser many people picking on the cache in the "General" CDEV. Is it really that close to useless? Are there any good alternatives. Obviously, a write through cache (asynch writes) would be the way to go. Wouldn't want to be caught in a crash with the most recent save all in cache! Saves should go to the disk - but maybe it would be okay if it took an extra 1/2 second to get there (hence the asynch), so I could get on with my life. Any ideas? Is this the new software product that will revolutionize the Mac world? A user configurable disk cache. Jim
