This could be made in software with benefit, as a Softraid patch.
So the frequently accessed stuff ends up cached on the SSD for faster
read
speed.
There is some hardware solution, e.g. Intel made the
http://ark.intel.com/products/70029/Intel-RAID-SSD-Cache-Controller-RCS25ZB040LX
using the "Nytro MegaRAID" chip.
Also in the past there was a "Adaptec MaxIQ". Those are the only two
"Raid
controller cache" hardware solutions I am aware of, do you know any
more?
Intel Z68 motherboards also have this in hardware. A bit tiresome to
set up
for bootdrives (since the disk type changes from normal SATA to raid)
but should be transparent to the OS after it is set up.
Thanks for mentioning, however, this tech (called "Intel Smart
Response") is a laptop/desktop thing only currently isn't it, you don't
see it on any 1-2-4x Xeon:s at least now right?
