Caching on boot drive?

You could try it to see if it benifits you greatly. Just depends on your usage, and if any gain, would be worthwhile for you. You may decide using more flash cells and controller cycles for whatever gain, won't be worth it. You may not have enough space to do it.
MLC-I wouldn't use casheing on a boot drive. The extra flash/controller uses would fluctuate more resulting in faster performance loss and lower life expectancy.
SLC- <this one would work well for casheing. When data is moved it leaves the cell clean and the controllers last a lot longer too. Built for data I/O operations. Not as fast as MLC at r/w, but the seek time is the same which is what we mostly see.
It would be better to get a cheap MLC and dedicate it to casheing rather than use, as in your sig, the boot drive.
I would disable it.

Very well explained, ty. I will leave it enabled.

EDIT: How would I disable paging file on my 1TB HDD(storage)? Diskeeper says that I have a huge paging file, from the graft shown, looks like 50-80GB.

Start, right click computer, properties, advanced system settings, performance settings, advanced tab, change virtual memory.

If its automatically set to have windows manage it, unclick the box at the top and select custom size. Change it to 8GB or so.
