    Good luck. Got it, but Intel's drivers are pretty woeful. Vista64 recognizes the device (after installing the drivers manually), but the user-pinning interfaces craps out aftter a few reboots. Not sure it's compatible with RAID. Waiting for Intel to release a updated driver here.

    No. It didn't work for me. Others have complained of the product's problems and Intel's limited support.

    Wouldn't a mini PCIe flash drive set up for readyboost and/or maybe your swap partition too(depending on write performance) be easier and better. You could store things on it as well.
