Which is the best SSD cache drive out of the ones I have listed?
  • OCZ Synapse
  • Corsair Accelerator
  • Crucial Adrenaline

Both the Corsair & Crucial drives are ~$100 for the largest capacity so I'm leaning towards them over the OCZ (w/ OCZ you only get a 30GB drive for the same price) but I haven't found any reviews on them yet.
 
There is a drive from Intel that is specifically for caching, but its expensive since its SLC type drive. Other than that, I am not sure which of the software caching solutions is best.

I found several reviews of the OCZ synapse stuffs on google. It uses some dataplex software to do the caching. Looks like there is a 2GB HDD limit or something, which could be fixed in a software patch or something, not sure.

The Intel drive is specifically for their chipsets that support SRT. I have an AMD system. All three I listed use the Dataplex software. I just am not fond of OCZ due to their price.
