Intel does SSD as cache

Intel has started production of its chipsets Z68, H61 and Q65 and integrated functionality enabling the use of SSD as a giant buffer, which is commonly called SSD caching. This technology would be reserved for Z68 are intended for enthusiasts. They are, in fact, consumers who are most inclined to invest in this kind of support.

Specifically, the controller uses the SSD as a buffer to the hard drive, storing only the data used most often. This allows in principle to improve performance that are close to those of DSS, without having to make a cross on capacity. Of course, everything depends on the controller that has a fundamental role and that he will manage all operations.

Intel has not confirmed this information, neither the release date rumors place for the month of May.
