    Can I dedicate 30gb of a 128gb SSD to cache for my 1tb hard drive and 60gb for the os partition?

    Yes. Primocache can do those things.

    Primocache is setting your system ram as cache. If system crashes all your work that day will be history.

    It offers huge numbers only on paper.

    No it doesn't only do that. Did you ever use the program yourself?
    If you did you know you are actually able to use a SSD as a cache disk.

    Intel's Smart Response Tech has no option (unless implemented within the last week) to use a partition. You can set the size of the cache drive up to 60GB though. A dedicated drive will provide a better experience than a drive that's pulling double duty.

    I used Intel's Smart Response Tech up until about a week ago. I prefer it to running an SSD as a system drive. It's not suitable for everyone though.
