As I understand it, no AMD chipset natively supports SSD caching, whereas many Intel chipsets have their excellent Smart Response Technology which I've used in the past. However, it's possible for motherboard manufacturers to add this feature through their choice of SATA controller, so it should be possible for AMD boards to have an equivalent implemented in hardware.
What I would like to know is whether any current Mini-ITX motherboards have done this? I've been struggling to find any myself as it's not something that many sites let you search for (and it's not always named consistently either). Does anyone know if any such motherboards exist? I'll also accept any known Micro ATC boards as the case I'm hoping to use for my next build does have a larger version, though I'd prefer the smallest option where possible.
I've used Intel's Smart Response Technology in the past, pairing an mSATA disk with an SSHD, and it was pretty sweet. Of course I'd love to use it with an NVMe M.2 drive, but the parts needed are a bit out of my budget range at the moment, hence my looking at AMD to keep costs low.
