Congrats -- sounds like you got a winner.

Assistive SATA technologies served a purpose, but now it seems like a lot of 
hoops to go through, now that SSDs are getting cheap.

I bought a ton of Hybrid SATA drives, they were like having a SATA drive 
with 4GB of cache on the side. Boot up times were no faster than SATA, but 
once you started loading your apps, they served out of the cache instead of 
the spinning drives.

Lenovo putting a MMC drive on to cache was similar, but they only had 
Windows drivers for the cache - although you could do tricks like put swap 
on there.
