Do you know if this technology has to be your main system drive? Or could you use a "full fat" SSD of, say, 120GB for your system drive and then use this device to up the performance on a large, spinning storage drive? If this does work, is the data drive usable when removed from the Z68 PC and connected to a different (non-cached) PC? (i.e. the SSD cache is purely a volatile cache that doesn't affect the file system of the spinning disk).
The idea of a cache implies that all the data is on the spinny drive, and some is cloned to the SSD, and a map of these held somewhere, remapping reads/writes to SSD (which are probably background synced to spinny disk in the case of writes).
If you lose the SSD the data survives, if you lose the spinny drives chances are you just have some file fragments and parts of your OS.
I think the NDA on Intel SRT expires later this week, expect to see more on reputable review sites soon.
