Intel SRT on the same SSD as my operating system

When reading the Intel Smart Response Technology User Guide it says:

11. Select the size from the SSD to be allocated for the cache memory.
Note: Any remaining space on the SSD may be used for data storage
data single-disk RAID 0 volume that is automatically created.

Questions:

Can I run Intel SRT on the same SSD as my operating system, (allocating SRT cache memory to an area of unused disk space after I have installed the operating system)?

Or would i need to partition my SSD first - install the operating system on half and then run the SRT on the other?

Or do you need a completely separate/independent SSD to use SRT?

Thanks for your time.

Sorry i did not explain - I would like to have the improved bandwidth that SRT offers to increase the performance off a separate, larger HDD - this is for audio production and the large sample libraries that I use. I am not concerned about making the operating system respond faster as it is already on the SSD.

I would just like to know whether or not I can use a section of the SSD that the operating system is on to enhance another HDD or whether I would need a separate SSD?

You don't need SRT at all, if your os runs from a SSD.
