On I have an extra 16 gb m.2 ssd I pulled out of my laptop that I upgraded to an 120 gig m.2 and 240 gig 2.5 ssd.

So now I have a 2nd pc that is dual booting win 7 and win 10(insider preview) that is win 7 ssd and an 500gb hdd for apps and a 1tb hdd for win 10.

My question is can I cache the 2 hdd with one ssd. it's laying around so I figured I'd put it to use  before it getz broken and I know I can do one disk but I'd like to do 2 drives Cuz I can if I can.

 

My main rig is an all ssd machine with a two 2tb drives in raid for mass storage redundancy.

Hey there mc141,

If you want to cache the HDDs you should use separate SSDs for each drive or put the drives in a RAID array or a JBOD Span volume. 
I would simply use that SSD as a standalone drive and put everything that is rather demanding from the HDDs on it and leave everything else on the HDDs. :) this would be the more simple and problem-free way of using it.
