Hey,

I have a 128GB SSD and a 2TB HDD in my system. Can I boost my HDD's perfromance with the SSD or any other way?

I assume the SSD is boot drive and 2TB is storage? Make sure it is on a Sata3 connector. Other then that, only option is upgrading it to a faster mechanical drive. If the 2TB was boot and you had a mobo that supported it, you could use the Intel Smart Response Tech (i think it is) that allows you to use a small SSD as a cache drive for your mechanical drive...

Intel cache function would serve that purpose it would significantly increase the performance of the HHD

Do I need a specific software or how do I can activate Intel's cache function?

Intel smart response would do the trick.

Ah, thanks. I think I am stuck though. I remember hearing that it is only doable with small SSDs up to 24 GBs.

It can work with bigger drives. I'm pretty sure it can work with your drive but I don't remember if it will take into account the whole drive for caching.
