    Just did a bit of reading on Intel's Rapid Start technology. It seems to be useful for people with hard drives and a small SSD cache. Just wanted to confirm that if I have everything on an SSD, I won't really benefit from making a separate partition as a hibernate cache right? So Rapid Start is basically useless in my case?

    While Intel Rapid Start uses a hibernate partition it sounds like you are confused with Intel Smart Response technology which is a caching technology. Intel Rapid Start technology is for Ultrabooks and I'd useful for systems with SSD drives
