With Intel's new Z68 chipset released, I had a question regarding their Smart Response Technology SSD Caching. I know it requires an HDD and an SSD but what I'm not completely sure of is if it has to be a dedicated SSD. Meaning, can I install something like the Windows 7 OS and then use the unused memory on the same SSD as the SSD to pair with my HDD for SRT Caching?

Re: Z68
No, it won't work on an SSD...

On the last page I ran two SSDs...
With an SSD installed into the system it won't even let you run accelerate as the tab in the software is missing. I talked to Intel about this and they said...

It makes NO SENSE to cache in front of an SSD. You’ll get higher performance by just using the SSD.
Re: Z68
So it's my understanding that you need to have a deticated SSD paired with an HDD with everything installed in it in order sor the SRT Caching to work, correct? If I were to have a boot SSD drive, though, I would need a separate SSD along with the one deticated for Caching, right?
