It is up to you if you want to spend more on it, but it is your concern if the performance is not as expected. I do not know how much memory you have on your computer. When 32 GB is needed for games, will invest in a new drive, maybe an intel optane one if they live up to the hype. It caches a 1 TB hard drive with games and virtual drives for virtual machines. I have 2 other 60 GB SSDs in software raid 0. Maybe I should mention I only use the 12 GB memeory to chaceh the boot drive and not the drive with games installed. You will know what they are when using the software. 10 seconds write latency and prefetch last cache. The setup is 4k block size, read data & write data. I am making use of the memory as 12GB is for the cache. Gtx 1070 graphics, gtx 970 (cuda/physx/flex) I use my machine for other things as well as gaming, like virtualisation and some video processing. It is best you post on the romex forum for expert advice on it. It is free for 60 days I think you you can try it out.

The cache is placed back into RAM after each boot. I use primocache software and allocate 12 GB ram as a cache.
