I think using an SSD cache for HDD's is a good thing, if you want to decrease writing/reading to your HDD and extend its lifespan.

I haven't tested that method yet but it a good idea to a certain degree but it comes with a risk of losing data / corruption if the power goes out or the system gets bsod if the enable write caching to the device is ticked in the device manager
