SSD Cache drives - are they worth it?
I just got a Z77 based mobo
One of the features is that it can use an SSD as a cache drive
Is anyone using and SSD as a cache drive in addition to a HDD to store the OS and apps?
Is it worth it?

[INDENT]SSD Speed with HDD Capacity
Intel® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity required) as a cache for frequently accessed data. Key benefits include reduced load and wait times, and lower power consumption through the elimination of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD performance with hard drive capacity, operating up to 6X faster than a hard drive-only system.[/INDENT]
