I am purchasing these drives for my new system:

Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB SSD
Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 64MB Cache 2TB HDD

I'm installing Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on the 256GB SSD, and will be installing all of my games and Adobe applications there.

My main storage drive will be the Seagate 2TB.

For my last drive, I want to partition the drive into two 64GB sections. I want to use one as a media cache for my Adobe apps and the remaining half as an SSD cache for my Seagate drive?

Is this possible? How is this done?

TL;DR

256GB SSD for OS and programs
2TB HDD for storage
128GB partitioned:
- 64GB media cache
- 64GB SSD cache

Possible? How?

I would just use one drive, maybe the 512 GB drive and then just use normal c: for Adobe. If you stored only media files on the hdd there is no real usable caching. Also it is not really needed. Usually such caches apps just load often read files to ssd, but usually only OS and Apps are meant.
You can also just try using the 256 GB for OS, Apps and Adobe caching.
