I have a Seagate 2TB SSHD currently installed in my PC and I was wondering if I am able to use a 120GB Samsung EVO SSD as a cache through Intel's Smart Response Technology. I know this works fine with regular HDDs but since I want to use it for an SSHD, will it conflict with the 8gb cache that currently exists on the SSHD? Thanks in advance.

If you have a computer with an HDD only that utilizes Intel Rapid Storage Technology, all you have to do is connect an SSD or replace the HDD with an SSHD and enable drive acceleration. The friendly user interface makes it easy to install and manage. Intel Smart Response Technology works with any SSD—even older ones—as long as it is at least 16 GB in size. Intel Smart Response Technology works with most SSHDs that have a minimum flash capacity of 8 GB.
