     Hi all,

         I've got a fairly simple set up in my office for After Effects 
CC work:

Intel 980x CPU
24GB Ram
Geforce GTX 580
3TB system drive (2 partitions, one for Win 7 64 and 1 for media)
120GB SSD

         Recently I've been thinking of using the 120GB SSD for a boot 
drive instead of my cache drive. I figure once everything is installed 
on it the speed I would gain from opening software and system operation 
would offset the loss of space for the cache or elimination of it 
entirely. Has anyone had any experience with this? Of course I could 
just buy another SSD but since this system is approaching 4 years old I 
would prefer not to throw more money at it. It would be nice to squeeze 
another year out of it.

             -Rob
