Windows 10 How to monitor disk cache page accesses?

suncowiam · Jan 12, 2021

Anyone know of any tools or Windows API that can monitor disk cache page accesses?

For example, if a cache page is loaded from/to memory, I would like to count the size and times. This is to determine possible SSD degradation with too many accesses from page caches.

Thanks

You can look in Resource Monitor. You're looking for hard page faults. Page faults are just a normal function of every operating system and you can't really tune the behavior.

What about the case where a page in memory is changed, becomes "dirty" and needs to be written back to disk/ssd. Would resource monitor track this also and what event would this be called? Thanks so much.
