The technology could use some improvement. It would be nice if you could specify entire folders that you wish cached rather than let SSD caching automate the selection process. If I start playing Plants vs Zombies a lot, it hardly merits caching over something like Company of Heroes.SonderKommando wrote:
Doesn't that negate teh whole point of ssd caching?? Why would you want to cache any other drive except the one the OS is on?unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Only thing irking me is that you can't SSD cache to a drive you have your OS installed on, but that's only an extension of my irritation at Steam's installed games being limited to single volumes. There is NO viable reason why they should insist on this.
Im just gonna go with dual SSD's striped. Question, cant seem to find this anywhere... Can you run two ssd's in RAID 0 @ 6Gb/s?
From Anandtech:
I agreed with that from the start. Unfortunately, the Steam team is too dense to get this through their collective noggin. It's been a Steam disadvantage since the beginning, when people were complaining that their Raptors didn't have enough room to store their Steam collection, but that they really wanted to keep a particular game on the faster drive.Intel limited the maximum cache size to 64GB as it saw little benefit in internal tests to making the cache larger than that. Admittedly after a certain size you're better off just keeping your frequently used applications on the SSD itself and manually storing everything else on a hard drive.
