If you do the smart response thing with a ssd as they system drive, expect a significant drop in performance. The smart response algorithms will only serve to increase latency and lower the throughput cap on a high performance system drive. It works on mechanical drives because the response time of doing the processing is faster than the access time of the mechanical drive, but the opposite is true when you have an SSD as the main drive.
