Corsair Adrenaline, OCZ Synapse, Corsair Accelerator, does anyone have any experience with these?

I'm wondering if I can use the Adrenaline for example, for the following setup:

1x256gb ssd for OS & programs
1x2tb hdd for games & media
1xAdrenaline as cache for the mechanical games & media drive.

Seems like the Adrenaline is TRIM and SMART enabled, so longevity shouldn't be a huge problem.

I've googled like hell but it seems like with the Adrenaline, you can only cache a mechanical drive if you have the OS on it as well. Can anyone chime in on this?
 
Dataplex's NVELO cache software only works on the boot drive. At this point, to cache a secondary drive you have to use Z68's IRT.

Argh, I guess Intel SRT is my only option then. Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully Intel will release the 11.5 driver soon with TRIM for RAID-arrays.
 
If the boot drive is an SSD, you can still cache it, but there is no point to doing that. So NVELO is pretty much limited to the HDD with your install on it.

SRT is a good option for what you're looking for.
