    Why I'm on the fence is the cost to size ratio; just seems so much more for that little bit of speed.
    A cache SSD is something you should look into, because that isn't really similar at all to what you're talking about

    You can contact me via matrix protocol: @grats:grats.win or you can email me at the same domain, any user/email address.

    Currently have it Oc'd to 4.2 for now; I may Oc some more but during the summer it's too humid.



    In the morning average temp is lower than 30c.



    .

    Do you notice a performance difference between 3.5ghz and 4.2? does it boost your frames in a game like bf3?

    Is that just a plug in and forget type of thing? @grats

    yea plug in, install software (free on their site) it'll turn it into a cache drive for whatever big harddrive

    usually first things to get cached in my testing are majority of the operating system "used a lot" files.. like the GUI stuff etc, and internet browsers too ofc cuz we all got that open 24/7

    other than that, depends on user
