SSD roundup: Vertex 3 vs M4 vs C300 vs 510 vs 320 vs x25-M vs F120 vs Falcon II

Is that cache within the SSD?

I don't see any benefit using cache within an SSD, reason why I don't use cache within the SSD, but it might change in future. This reminds of compressible and incompressible data, Vertex 3 x M4 C400 all over again.

You're sidetracked, the point is it logs activity which shows writes are much bigger than reads. As for your sidetrack, fancycache can cache writes, in doing so consolidates them, which results in fewer writes to the underlying device, an obvious benefit to SDD longevity. As for speed, unless your SDD does 4GB/s, it's also faster.
