SSD caching software?

[SickBeast]

I'm wondering if there is any commercially available SSD caching software. I have a 120gb OCZ Arc 100 SSD that I would like to use as a "cache" for my 3tb gaming drive. I wanted to use Intel's RST, however my CPU is just a Pentium G3258 and unfortunately you need an "i-series" CPU for it to work.

I came across a couple of programs but they look really flaky and unreliable.

If any of you know of a good way to do this I would really appreciate it.

There is a competing software product called Super-Cache, produced by an outfit HQ'd in Massachusetts.

The Romex software provides more options. Both softwares do caching at the block level, even if the size of the cache isn't a dynamic feature. I've been using Primo-Cache with a laptop, and haven't had a problem of reliability. Apparently, that's why they offer a 90-day trial: it gives people a chance to prove to themselves that it's reliable.

The Romex software is more reasonably priced. You get a 3-PC license for the price of a single Super-Cache license. Again -- the options allow for both RAM-caching and SSD-caching of an HDD. The SSD-caching option is called "L3" caching, while the RAM-caching is called "L2."

Thanks very much, guys. $30 is too expensive IMO though. I might as well put that money toward an i5 so I can use Intel's software for free. Either that or I could put it toward a 1tb SSD.

It's good to know that there is an option out there. It's a shame it costs so much.

$30 is too much for this? Really? To each his own, but the cheapest i5 is $170, so paying $170 for $30 software seems a bit silly. Of course an i5 is faster for things you need, that is another thing.

As it comes with a free trial, I don't see a reason not to try the software.
