The whole purpose of a SSD cache drive is if you have a lot of large files that you are accessing and moving large amounts of data between the primary and secondary hard drive then the cachs makes sense but for everyday use there really isn't much benefit to using a SSD cache drive for a secondary hard drive.
Do you already have these SSD drives or are you thinking of buying them? What size is the OCZ drive?
I am definitely no expert but I've been reading up on it...
1) Vertex 4's main benefit is in its write speed using that as a read (OS) drive is probably a waste of its performance
2) You can have a SSD as a boot and you can use the other to cache ONE other mechanical HD or HD array (using a SSD to cache another SSD is pointless)
There is no benefit to useing a small SSD as a cache drive for a larger SSD since they both operate at a fast speed . The SSD caching setup is for a small SSD to be used as a cache for a larger conventional platter drive.

Woops, forgot to add that I'm using a Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB

I just realized that I won't have the budget for a cache drive! Thanks anyways!
