- Fedora 20 offers experimental support for adding solid state drives as fast,

devices offer both speed and volume. The cache can be added to fresh or existing standard
partitions and LVM storage.
+ Fedora 20 offers experimental support for adding solid state drives (SSDs) as fast,
transparent caches to traditional rotating storage (HDDs). Filesystems on the SSD cached
block devices offer both the speed of SSDs and volume of HDDs. Both traditional and LVM
partitioning schemes can benefit from this functionality.

+ Always back up your data before making low level changes, such as migrating to a bcache
device. Until tools like <ulink

Fedora, users are advised to implement bcache by creating clean bcache devices and
populating thier filesystems from a recent backup.
