Cache-SSD over USB 3.0?

[Zonediver]

Hi folks,

just a question: Is it possible to use a USB 3.0 SSD as a Cache-Drive?

The Controller on my Mainboard is from ASMedia.

Thanks

Just watch it and make sure the interface is stable (ie: no disconnects, etc) once the drive is hooked up.

Yep thats clear - i will hook the SSD on the internal USB 3.0 from the mainboard.

Physical stability is only one part of the equation, I'd be more concerned about the software stability. Keep an eye on the syslog for messages referencing that drive and any errors associated with it.

Ah ok - will do this. First i must order all parts like adapters, cables and the SSD itself and than will see if it works
