Intel Smart Cache

I'm planning to set my spare 120gb SSD as a cache for my 3tb Games Drive. I have some questions about it:

1. What will happen if the cache drive (SSD) dies, will it corrupt the HDD drive

2. Will it significantly improve loading times?

3. Is it possible to cache 2 HDD's with the same SSD?

What the hey....

0/10 would not recommend.

I'm guessing, there won't be much performance gain?

Not really, I would just use the SSD as a boot drive it would be much better IMO.

Oh well, I think you're good, but go for it then if you really want.

Although :  2. Will it significantly improve loading times?

What the hey....

Meh, if you have stuff you access a lot of the lime, it can be helpful, just not as cost effective.

Ahh ok. Thanks :D
