Smart Response works by basically taking your SSD and making it a big cache for your harddrive. It can only speed up your mechanical drive by slowly over time building algorithms that understand your usage patterns and the files you access the most and knowing to cache them on the SSD.

Personally I would prefer to have an actual SSD as my main boot drive as the speed would be predictable and you could manage what's actually on it yourself and minimize unnecessary writes to the drive which is important for SSDs.
