It really only helps with boot up times I found. I'm assuming you installed the software also and rebooted a few times also? I used to use that device before I upgraded to a the Samsung EVO and removed the ready cache entirely. I can say though that my boot speeds were fatter but that was really about it. Keep in mind also that it's only 32GB so it fills up day and any one here will tell you that SSD speed decreases dramatically when they reach near full.
