Baral'heia Stormdancer ΘΔ🐲Shot in the dark but... anyone familiar with the old AMD StoreMI / Enmotus FuzeDrive tech? I've got a drive I need to recover data from that was once part of a tiered set, but StoreMI won't run on my current PC, and FuzeDrive won't install because the licensing server is gone.
Garbrys@baralheia no clue what that is, but I would bet on VMs for the application, maybe with cracked apps
@garbrys AMD StoreMI/Enmotus FuzeDrive was a way of basically using an SSD to act as cache for a larger SATA HDD, but in a way that made the combined disks look like a single drive to Windows. The software would watch files you opened most often and copy them over to the SSD so they would launch faster. FuzeDrive was a paid product for all architectures, but AMD offered a free, processor-locked version of the same software specifically for users who owned certain Ryzen CPUs. This version went EOL in 2020. AMD later released a 2nd version of StoreMI based on completely different technology that's incompatible with the first version.
The licensing server for FuzeDrive no longer exists as Enmotus went out of business around 2021, and StoreMI won't run on anything that doesn't pass the CPU/chipset check; it only worked with systems based on AMD's x399, 400-series, and 500-series chipsets (Threadripper and 2nd/3rd Gen Ryzens IIRC)
@baralheia oh if it verifies the chipset, that's a bit different. QEMU can "emulate" a processor, but not a chipset.
Tried my usual sites for the programs, no luck.
@garbrys it's hard to find nowadays, what with Enmotus going belly up then AMD discontinuing support for their version. Afaik this one should be valid tho: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOTHERBOARD/AMD/AMD-StoreMI-Technology-Utility-1-5-3-22296-for-Windows-10.shtml
