I have a small removebale mSATA Sandisk SSD 24GB in my laptop. This SSD has never been used for caching, or really for anything and its health is PERFECT (S.M.A.R.T) and maybe less than 2 hours of actually being written.
My current setup is SSD (OS & Applications) + HDD (storage only). As you can see I do not really need this 24 GB for caching. But I want to utilize it for something and not waste 24 GB for nothing.
Wanted to reach out this community and see if any one has some good, smart recommendations on what can I use it for? Please note, I am not looking to replace it with a larger drive, as I do not require more space.
Some things that I have thought so far but still wanted to see what others think:

Some things that I have thought so far but still wanted to see what others think:
- Move my pagefile to this SSD, maybe hiberfile.sys if possible.
- Use it for temporary files
- Use it for any downloads (small downloads, pictures, install files, etc mostly from internet browsers)
- EDIT:
Store backup image(Whoops, forgot for a second that images take a bit more than 24 GB lol)
