EliteBytes VeloSSD

VeloSSD is a hard disk utility that comes with support for hardware independent SSD caching capabilities for Windows platforms from XP up to Server 2012 R2.

The tool is able to accelerate storage volumes such as Fibre Channel LUN, SAN, RAID, Dynamic, iSCSI, GPT, and boot ones. It comes with support for multicore CPUs in order to allow maximum I/O throughput.

The GUI looks simple and intuitive. There are only a few configuration settings hidden under the hood and they are simply to decode so the setup process shouldn’t take much of your time.

The application lists the drives directly in the main window and offers a few details about each one, such as name, size, free storage, and file system. It doesn’t stand in your way, as it runs quietly in the background.

In order to boost volumes, VeloSSD gives you the possibility to select the desired partitions from a list (it also includes information about each partition, such as name, type, and free memory). You can set the location and size of the cache.

A few configuration parameters enable you to automatically run the application at Windows startup and open the main panel upon running the tool, as well as automatically check for software updates.

All things considered, VeloSSD delivers a basic feature pack for helping you gain control over the SSD caching process.

The Personal Edition, that we have tested, is the entry level version of VeloSSD and comes with support for a maximum cache size of 64GB, 128TB maximum volume, and a single volume that can be cached. If you are looking for advanced features, such as unlimited volumes and cache size, you can check out the Professional, Enterprise and Datacenter editions of the tool on its official website.
