ssd to hdd os cahce

[Foodawg]

I have a 60gb ssd currently running my os, howeveer, it is quickly running out of space. I was wondering if I could transfer the os to a 250gb hdd and have it cached with the ssd to make it faster. I also have a 1tb for all my other data.

With an intel motherbd yes this is usually easy to do.
With an AMD you will need to buy special caching software.

I do have an intel motherboard so doing it wouldnt be a problem. I guess my question is, is it worth it? I know the os will be slower than my current ssd only but i do need the space. Are there any draw backs or anything I should know about before hand?

Actually, after thinking about it, 60gb should still have plenty of space left on it.
Did you follow the system optimization guides so that you would not waste space or write cycles?

I dont think I did. How would I go about doing that?

I just optimized it, that seems to have worked. Thank you so much!
