SSD Caching Off HDD

[tombstone]

Hey Guys!

 

I thinking about an SSD for chasing of my 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1, witch I use for storing games.

My question is as follows..

How big a SSD do I need in terms of GB and IOPS, and also would I benefit much, by buying a Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 serial ATA-600 2 TB and do caching of that instead of the spinpoint.

 

System:

Asus p8z77-v Delux

i5 3570k

2x4GB Corsair Dominator

ASUS HD7970 DC2T

Samsung SSD 840 pro 256GB (OS)

Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB serial ATA-300 7200rpm (Games)

 

Hope someone can help.

 

Best regards

Nicolai

Id like to assume the bigger the caching SSD the better, and no there would be no benefit trying to cache an HHD with an HDD.

not a hdd with a hdd but spending 125$ on a ata-600 HDD instead of my ata-300 HDD.
I will be using a SSD for caching.
