How to setup SSD as cache?

[brendancox464]

Hi all - wondering if you could help

I recently opened up the back cover of my HP Envy j051sa to find out that it has a msata slot for an ssd (yay!) but I don't want to set up a ssd to move across the OS and system files (too lazy and don't think it's worth the hassle) but am very interested in inserting a 64gb ssd and using it as a cache ssd (still improves performance and like the idea of the system automatically caching frequently used files. But I'm completely new to the SSD scene (still very good with computers though) and wanted to ask a couple of questions:

1) What SSD cache drive would people recommend? Does my PC require a specific size or are all the msata ssd the same size anyway?

2) How would I setup the SSD as a cache drive? (I've researched online and know it requires some Bios raid settings and Intel storage but I'm still puzzled) Step-by-step would be great!

3) What would happen to the SSD cache when I dual boot windows 10? Would the drive automatically start caching windows 10 files? Or is there extra configuration needed?

I really appreciate any help given!

Thanks

Brendan

I have never heard that that is even possibly. RAID is a different story though... ( that I don't know about)

Personaly I can just reccommend - against your request, I know - to put the OS on there.

I promiss the difference will be worth it and you will very please with the snappyness you will gain

I thought about it but then I'd have to go through the hassle of Installing windows 8 on there and then windows 10 later. At the moment the OS is running excellent anyway Googling ssd msata cache seems possible?

My PC looks like it only supports 24gb msata drive anyway so installing OS wouldn't be possible
