    Hello, just won this laptop: ASUS S56CM-SH51-CB on eBay for $422 CDN including shipping which I thought was a great buy.

    I was just wondering, the 24GB SSD cache that it mentions, will the windows 8 OS eat all of that up or am I able to sneak in some frequently played games on there? Basically, I wanna know if the 24GB SSD shows up as a separete drive when I open up My Computer. Or am I completely misunderstood and the 24GB is actually only used as a cache?

    Only used as cache by default...

    (You can disable the caching software and use the SSD separately; but not recommended).
