SSD Caching with AMD CPU

Hello, I have an AMD CPU and was wondering how I would cache an SSD on my system.  Specifically what programs would you recommend.  I am familiar with Intel Smart Response but it states that it will only work with Intel CPUs.  If anybody knows of another program that does this well or knows how to use this program on an AMD CPU that would be very helpful.  Also I was going to use my current 64GB San Disk SSD for this.  Right now that SSD is used as my boot drive but I am considering purchasing a 120GB Samsung 840 Pro as 64 GB is filling up.  All of my steam and origin games are on the HDD I was going to use the San Disk to cache.  When I install windows onto my new SSD and erase my old one will all of my games and save data still remain and be usable on the HDD?

 

Thanks

I would consider that but I already have a 64 GB San Disk that I was going to use for the caching.  Thanks for your response though.

Thank you for your responses. I am probably going to use the San Disk software but I do not yet have the new SSD  :(

Nevermind.  I went over to the San Disk website and that software only works with special ssds.  Fancy cache seems to be in somewhat of a beta.  Does it work well.  Also is fancy cache free?  Do you know if ASUS makes one that I could use because I do have an ASUS motherboard?
