SanDisk DAS Cache Compatibility Matrix

SanDisk DAS Cache is a software application driver installed on a system primarily to accelerate the speed of storage input/output (I/O) operations, which in turn improves the performance of I/O intensive applications.

SanDisk DAS Cache software accelerates server applications by leveraging a Solid‐State Drive (SSD) installed on the host server and used specifically as a read‐write cache for hot data—the data that applications access most frequently. In most cases, less than 20% or even 10% of active data is actually hot data. Although hot data constitutes a small fraction of the total data in storage, read and write operations on this data typically account for at least 70% to 80% of server I/O. This is why a relatively small SSD‐based cache for hot data can provide I/O performance close to what you can achieve if you store all of an application's data on an SSD device.
