I have a 120gb ssd in my computer paired with a 1tb WD black drive and i am quickly running out of space, so i found this for £127 ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-Serial-Solid-State-Hybrid/dp/B00FQH7MQ2 ), and i was going to use it as the main drive in my computer from when i bought it, but i dont know if i will have to use the cache that is built into the drive only or if i could use 60gb on Intel RST paired with the 8gb of cache already on the drive, theoretically giving me 68gb of cached storage.

If this is not possible then i will probably get a 4tb wd black haha
 
Solution
You have no control what-so-ever regarding the drive's 8gb SSD cache. Since you are already caching with RST I would just get the non-hybrid version of the drive or the 4tb black as you suggested.
