Hi!
I got a 120GB SSD and would like to use Intel Smart Response SSD Caching Technology on it. The drive I would cache is a 500GB mechanical drive.
Can I put the OS on the SSD with all very important programs and the games and not so important programs on the SSD?
A friend told me that the max size of the SSD for caching is 64GB so my drive would be too big - Is that correct?
What also unclear to me is:
Do have to install the OS on the SSD and then enable the caching in Rapid Storage Technology (RST) drivers and then install the OS again on the rest of the SSD since I heard that setting the cache removes all data from the SSD?
Greetz!

Edit: I have a ASrock Z77 Extreme4 mobo for all that wonder how a P35 board can do SSD caching.
