We all know SSDs are fast but are limited to smaller drive capacities. The Corsair Accelerator Series SSD Cache Drives allow you to get SSD performance while still having large hard drive like capacities. The Corsair Accelerator Series SSD Cache Drive is available in 30GB, 45GB, and 60GB. To test the performance I used the 60GB drive along with a Western Digital Green 1.5TB hard drive. The drives were plugged into a Gigbyte GA-Z68A-UD4P running a 2500K with 16GB of Vengeance Memory. After installing Windows I ran several benchmarks. After running the benchmarks I installed the Dataplex caching software. You can read the software install blog here.

The Accelerator Series solid-state cache drives are designed for desktop PC users who want to give their Microsoft® Windows® based PC a dramatic performance boost with minimal cost and hassle. Corsair's new line of SSD cache drives includes premium caching software from NVELO, for improved boot times and lightning-quick file access. The software quickly installs in 5 easy steps.

For those users still using HDDs for the primary or OS drive, there is a great new way to add an SSD to the mix to gain great performance while still using the full storage capability of their HDD. You will not need to reinstall the operating system and you'll be up and running in minutes. Add SSD caching software and an SSD to an average system and you can have your cake and eat it too!
