Question: best performance of hard disk reading (Users)

A disk cache is an area of memory that is set to store the data most recently read from the hard disk. But it does not work with the data that not yet read.

Need a disk cache utility to store to the FAT and directories completely (maybe compressed).This is to improve performance, since the system memory is many times faster than the hard disk. Mainly if we consider that the FAT is at the beginning of the disc, and all time heads returning to the FAT doing slow the reading of files especially that are located in the opposite side. I am not have a benchmark to prove it.
