SRT limitations?

[martixy]

I'm in the market for a new PC. On that note I have a couple of questions about SRT and how it will work with the storage solution I have in mind.

1. Do you need to dedicate the whole drive to the job or can you just partition off a section for this?
2. I was imagining the following storage solution:
1 120GB Boot SSD
2 750GB WD drives in RAID0 that I already have
1 2TB new media drive
And the goal being using the SSD for the boot drive and also using SRT to cut off approx. a 20GB chunk for caching of the RAID0 disks.
Is that possible or is there some obscure technological reason that forbids it?

1) You can do part, but I think it is a minimum of about 20GB (max 64MG)

2) can be done, but a lot of work. There is a thread about it (being OS and SRT)

as to doing it on the raid, I think it is ment to be possible, but have not looked into it that far.

If I do the hybrid hybrid solution(tribrid?) would TRIM work for the bootable part of the drive?
And if I understand the tech correctly SRT works kinda like a RAID0, so caching another RAID config makes sort of like a nested RAID.
This is getting really deep into uncharted technological territory. I'm left with the feeling that SRT is just a big goddamn mess of an idea in its current generation.
