# Use the CSV in-memory read cache with Azure Stack HCI

This topic describes how to use system memory to boost the performance of Azure Stack HCI by caching frequent reads. Writes cannot be cached in memory.

Azure Stack HCI is compatible with the Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) in-memory read cache. Using system memory to cache reads can improve performance for applications like Hyper-V, which uses unbuffered I/O to access VHD or VHDX files.

A checkbox enables or disables the cache, and you can also specify the maximum memory per server to be allocated to the cache. Be sure to click **Save** at the bottom of the page after making your changes.

To see how much memory is allocated using PowerShell, run:
