I doubt I would get much use out of it as a cache for an SSD (redundant) and I know I could always use it to store a recovery image, but I'd like to find out if anyone here might have another suggested use that I haven't considered yet. Now that the primary drive is a smokin-fast 240GB SSD (boot time is approx 4-6 seconds, start to finish), I'm trying to decide how best to use this small but potentially useful space to its best abilities. I noticed a smaller 24GB SSD drive in Disk Manager which had been commandeered as a recovery partition by my client's previous IT support company, and researched the laptop model to find that it was originally used by Samsung for ExpressCache to speed up boot & access times when the primary drive was a lowly 5400rpm SATA drive. The system is lightning-fast now and will make a great lappie for my field work, so I'm examining all the specs to upgrade where possible. The first thing I did was to order an SSD drive to replace the failed SATA one and went about reinstalling the OS.
I helped her get a new, larger laptop that suited her better and she told me I could do what I wanted with this one. I recently had a client give me a Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook when the primary hard drive failed.
