Is it beneficial to have a designated caching hard drive, like THIS
one, with an SSD system disk?
I plan to use a 240gb SSD drive for the OS, and was thinking of getting one of these to use with the main drive.

It is only beneficial if you have a regular spinner HDD.

Cache, catalog, scratch, swap on SSD helps the most. Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications.

Scratch probably won't help much as Albert says, but no harm either. Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications.

Yes, I was considering using a 32gb SSD drive as a cache drive along with an SSD drive as a main drive for OS. But now I understand the Cache drive is meant for regular spinning drives.

If you are going to a spinning drive, then you get a huge random access speed boost. Taylor
