I have a XPS 8500 with a 2TB HDD with a 32GB SSD used as cache. Currently im running in RAID in order to run the Intel SRT technology so that i can accelerate my HDD. I am considering getting a 256gb SSD and doing a clean install of Windows 7 on it and wiping out my HDD.
Is it correct that i have to change to AHCI before doing all this? If so how do i do this? Do i install the large SSD then change it to AHCI or change it to AHCI then install the SSD?
And when im finished installing the larger SSD and i have WIndows 7 running on it. Is it still possible to continue using the 32gb SSD to accelerate the HDD (but in AHCI mode?) Or will the 32gb SSD simply become storage?
