OCZ Wants To Cache Your HDD With an SSD 189
sl4shd0rk writes "OCZ is coming out with Synapse Cache; an SSD cache for your hard drive. The SSD runs software that copies data into the cache from your hard drive as you work with it. The data sits on the SSD until it gets less activity and gets flushed to the hard disk. Aside from boosting your IOPS to 10k/75k (read/write), the SSD also supports AES encryption, SMART and TRIM."

Wouldn't it be great if it could be a USER add-on? (Score:4, Interesting)
I mean did you know many people have laptops that can take a 12.5mm tall HDD? But most people only buy a 9mm drive?
So it would be nice if OCZ (or another manufacturer) could make a very thin (3mm) card that would piggyback on top of the HDD. It would also have to a SATA drive connector to attach it to the motherboard and then a loop through cable to attach to the drive. In this way the end user could add a SSD cache to their existing laptop!
Is this feasible or am I missing something?
