OCZ Vertex 2 Pro is a lot more expensive than other SSD of comparable performances because it comes with a
supercapacitorthat guarantees durability. 

If you're just using the SSD as a cache, you don't need durability. You could save a lot of money by getting SSDs
withoutsupercapacitor, such as Corsair Force.
