SSD Caching?

[Sidrilia]

Hello LTTForum,

I've been looking around for some choices on helping a friend out with a 128gb SSD purely for caching their 2TB HDD they only use on some older i7-4770 system.

So far what I've found and seems to work easiest despite having to pay is Primocache? Anyone else know of some free solution possibly? They can't get Intel RST cause of the mobo chipset.
Thanks in advance.

what os?

 

Windows has storage spaces that can do ssd caching and its built in and works well.

You are probably going to have to use a paid solution due to your chipset not supporting it.  Windows Storage spaces can work but depends on a few things.

And what are these called? Haven't seen anything other than StoreMI for Amd and RST for Intel, never anything about "Windows has a caching solution"
But windows 10

Big oof, but well hoping for someone to bring some small time thing to the surface that works

its called storage spaces. Its built into windows 10, and free to use. You just need some powershell to set it up.
