Files are moved from the write cache to the read cache if:
The goal of the read cache is to collect files online which are as up to date as possible to reduce access times. Every file only still found on a medium (CD or DVD) is automatically copied to the read cache during retrieval access.
If you call up the properties of the read cache using the context menu, you will see the following dialog box:
