That's really a matter of opinion, don't you think?

In any case, I'm most pleased with PC-Cache from Central Point's PC-Tools here.
I'm using version 6.0, while 7.01 is the latest, but it's impressive. It can use
extended, expanded and conventional memory, and if I ever use the machine
without the cache, it's remarkably slower on disk access.

On the other hand, it's commercial, while there's good shareware packages like
HyperDisk around. I believe HyperDisk has hotkeys to turn off the cache, turn
off delayed writes etc. Not sure though.


Regards,
Hamish
