I'd like to know what is the reason why performance decreases when you use more than this amount. This doesn't happend with pendrives or RAM (where you just need keep free more than 1gb for system). Is because hard disk need more time to locate archives? Thanks for your answers, i'm just curious.
Why have no sense to use more than 16gb of hard disk?

Actually the use of another hard disk for caching will not give you the best performance increase cause this device has the same physical read latencies due to mechanical nature.
16GB sized cache makes no sense on any device (SSD or USB flash drives has much more capacity currently) cause most probably you do not have such an amount of frequently used files, so all these space will be filled with unneded files.
2-4GB is an optimal cache size and you can increase it if you are using dozen of applications every day.
