Last year we reviewed OCZ's RevoDrive Hybrid, which saw the marriage of a 1TB hard drive and a pair of 50GB SandForce SSDs on a PCI Express card. Potentially achieving performance close to that of a SandForce SF-2281 SSD with a 1TB storage capacity was very appealing, however there were some notable drawbacks that prevented us from recommending that solution.
Then on January, Crucial announced the Adrenaline SSD series. Not meant to replace their existing and well regarded m4 drives, the Adrenaline is a cache solution meant to work along your existing disk drive, using a 50GB SSD to act as solid state flash-based cache for your larger primary hard drive.
The Adrenaline doesn't require any special drivers as it uses the SATA interface, it can be installed at any point and can therefore be fitted to any computer without the need to reinstall Windows.

Have checked reviews of the OCZ Synapse solution and also read some in OCZ forums.
There seems to be some problems with the DATAPLEX software if you run Windows update, install new drivers etc and it could depend on how HDD and SSD Cache works together...
So at the moment this SSD Cache solution seems not quite finished yet....
I was having problems with the Dataplex software and Windows Updates (where it would crash and I would need to restore to an earlier image) but that seemed to have been worked out with the latest release. I'm sure happy about that as I had the drive disconnected for a while and wasn't using it due to this issue but now it seems resolved!

Well, it still seems like it is still an issue with Dataplex version 1.2.0.4. As such, I have disabled Windows Updates altogether for now and will uninstall/reinstall around the manual updates in the future. I have been creating system images every night so it was a big deal but definitely a nuisance.
