SSD Intel smart response help

[justindp23]

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if i needed to buy a new SSD for when i buy DAI to install on to enhance performance, or if i can use what i already have; i have 60 Gigs of cache through intel smart response technology. Would i need to buy a new SSD for DAI to install on to be faster, or should i rely on my cache through my rig to handle that extra performance. Perhaps one could expand on what exactly Intel Smart Response does a little more to boost my understanding of it?

My rig:
- Asus Sabertooth z77
- EVGA gtx 660 3GB
- intel core i5 quad core 3.4 GHz
- 8 GB of G.Skill 1333MHz (I know, needs upgrading..)
- 60 GB Corsair force SSD drive
- Western Digital Black Series 1TB
- Rosewill case
- Apevia PSU 700 watt

Keep what you have

If you run the game often it will automatically be put in the the SRT cache and be the fast thing on your machine already. If you want to make that happen faster you can disable the acceleration and turn it back on, and then run the game a few times, this should ensure it's files are prioritized since they have been accessed more often than other things.

You can't actually put files on to the SRT cache yourself, or use the SSD as a drive if you have the whole thing already allocated to accelerate your spinning disk.
