WriteIoAggregateMinSize (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the WriteIOAggregateMinSize setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting specifies the minimum I/O size for write aggregation, in bytes.

The default value is 1048576 (1 GB) for eMMC volumes; otherwise, the default value is 0.

This setting works with other settings in the SecureStartup-FilterDriver component to optimize BitLocker settings for devices with hardware architectures such as System on a Chip (SoC). Do not use these settings for standard 32-bit or 64-bit hardware architectures. For specific guidance on using these settings, contact Microsoft.

Modules

The following table shows the modules that you can apply this setting to. In Image Configuration Editor (ICE), you can follow the corresponding path to set this setting for a module.
