Hey everybody, sorry for the double-post, but I really don't know where this topic fits best,
After several replacements and repairs in my machine, I am wondering if my settings are still correct...
I would like to use my 32GB SSD as a RAID0 (I believe) caching device, to speed up the boot process and frequently used apps.
In the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology Option ROM, I created a RAID0-volume of 29,8GB, then went to install OS.
In the BIOS, I had to boot in AHCI-mode, or else I couldn't see the 2TB HDD to install Windows 7 to... (in RAID-mode, it could only detect 29,8GB of Unallocated Space)
However, now I have Windows 8 installed (clean install from 7), and in Disk Management, I see my SSD as a Standard Drive, with MBR and 29,82GB of Unallocated Space.
Could someone help me out? How do I setup this SSD device to act as it is supposed to act? Do I format it, partition it, make it Active, make it a Dynamic Disk? Or is it not possible since I've installed Windows in BIOS AHCI-mode?
Thanks a lot in advance!
