From what I see on internet about this hybrid, the SSD part is
managed
by internal firmware and acts as a cache. I doubt you can access it
separately.
Intel Rapid Storage software in Windows doesn't show it either. That
cache is "visible" only in Device manager -> Disk -> Properties ->
Policies (Write caching policy). So it will mean that any BSD can see
only that ~1TB part of regular SATA device without any chance to have
some influence on SSD cache part and disk firmware will not use it at
all or use it no matter what if it was enabled before in Windows? I
know, more question for vendor of that disk, but maybe someone with deep
knowledge of such devices can sched some light on this. Will be nice to
have it for /tmp, /var/tmp or whatever.
