What do "Promoted" and "In Queue" (or "Accelerated" and "Accelerating") mean in the Systray tooltip?
"Promoted" (or "Accelerated" in earlier versions) is the amount of data that has been promoted to the fast tier over the life of the FuzeDrive. This will eventually be larger than the size of your fast tier, since every promoted page (block of data) displaces another page that has not seen recent use, which is demoted to the slow tier. If you have created a FuzeDrive while preserving data on a fast drive, or have created a new FuzeDrive from 2 blank disks in the default fast-first configuration, then data copied to the FuzeDrive will tend to go to the fast drive until it is full. You will therefore not see the Promoted count begin to rise very much until that point, when new data that is copied to the slow tier is later read. Once the drive is well-optimized, the Promoted count should again not rise very quickly, since your frequently-used data is already on the fast drive.
"In Queue" (or "Accelerating" in earlier versions) is the amount of data in the promote queue waiting to be promoted. Expect this number to be zero most of the time, unless the system is currently or was recently under heavy I/O to the slow drive.
You can examine these statistics with greater granularity (including the relative spread of promotes over each region of 1/64th of the FuzeDrive) by opening an Administrator PowerShell or command prompt, and entering:
ecmd --stats promote_count t=0
