In my eyes there is just no reason for these cache drives any more. It's a product that came VERY late to market. 5 years ago these would have been much more successful I think.
If you have an HDD drive with two partitions, does it speed up programs in both partitions? I also have a second HDD. Do any programs on the second drive see any benefit?

Yup.....the only drive affected is the boot drive, and according to the instructions I've read the target drive has to have the OS on it.
I bought a 60GB for myself and I also got a 45GB for my daughter's computer.
A bunch of people must have read Hugh's review.....all of a sudden these are sold out all over the place!!!!!

Just purchased the 60GB and extremely happy with it.
I installed my 60GB accelerator and been using it for about 2 hours, I'm simply amazed. I have NEVER upgraded a single component that has given me such a feeling of increase in speed.
Granted i'm using a 1tb WD Green drive that is not fast by any means and that is probably why i'm feeling so much of a speed increase, but still... wow.
My PC: Asus P8Z77-v pro, i7 2600 @4.2ghz, 1TB WD Green, 16gb Corsair 1333mhz ram.
I've used the PC a bit then rebooted about 4 times now and windows boot up has more than halved.
After opening and closing a few times the following games:
Diablo 3: Opening the game to log in halved, resuming a quest takes 4s flat. Most importantly for me D3 has always been video laggy when i log in and use my skills for the first time, that is completly gone now 0 lag on my skills on first use, everything feels butter smooth.
WoW: More amazing than D3 everything more than halved too, i have a LOT of addons, loading screen in org went from about 40 sec to ~12seconds.
Now i just hope i don't get the data corruption some people had and this is probably the best purchase i've made in a long time.
Thats awesome, and exactly the experience that I personally had with this SSD. I am glad that it worked out great! its just so damn easy.

I kept waiting for something bad to happen......because it was just too easy to do.
This little drive is everything the article said it was.
I'm sure there are others out there that work similarly. I just bought a new Windows based laptop for my son for college, due to the article I ordered him a cache SSD.
This model is IvyBridge based so the laptop company uses Intel RST. I'm anxious to see how it compares to this Corsair unit.
Anyway, I have no hesitation recommending these cache drives to anyone who is considering them.
I ordered a setup because of this article too. I bought the Crucial Accelerator variant of this (because 6Gb/s at same 60gb Corsair price) that uses the same Dataplex software and have it bound to my 1TB WD Black drive, and am just continually amazed at how easy it was to get such a drastic performance increase. Admittedly, I did a little more research after reading the horror stories, but I'm still waiting for something bad to happen. I'm almost expecting it, but it's still rock solid. I had never even looked into this technology and was waiting for larger capacity SSDs to come down in price even more, because I'm cheap and wanted to put off formatting. Very glad I jumped on this though.
I would absolutely recommended one of these drives to someone considering one as well.
Pure sex.
The people who have been commenting in this thread are not lying. I got the OCZ Synapse 64GB and I honestly don't know how much of it is placebo but the computer feels snappy as hell. Easily the best $40 I've ever spent on computer hardware.
