Could someone please clarify something. I'm trying to activate Intel Rapid Response technology, however i'm trying to activate this for a data drive (not OS drive).

For my OS drive I already have an SSD, and wish to use a separate SSD to accelerate a separate data HDD.

Currently the Intel Rapid Response accelerate button is not showing. I'm trying to determine if this is because my OS drive is an SSD, or there's another reason I should be investigating.

So the question is, does anyone have RST enabled on a data HDD and already have a regular SSD for their OS drive.
 
are you in raid mode? you need to do that to use caching

I think you can do it not sure,the os also has to be on the hdd you want to accelerate
 
Wazza,

I'm already in RAID mode as my OS drive is in RAID recovery, this is something totally separate from RST however and have been running this for months.

My OS drive is on an SSD and wondered if there was a programming rule that said if OS is on SSD, then no other drive regardless of being an HDD can be accelerated.

I'm trying to accelerate a separate 1.5tb data HDD with a totally separate SSD to the boot SSD.
 
Hi Wazza,

I tried what was said in that link, my RST drivers were not latest so downloaded a version showing 12.9.0.1001, this appears to be the latest drivers.

I also removed the partition on my spare SSD (a 64GB Crucial M4), this is the SSD i want to cache the 1.5tb HDD.

Restarted the machine, but again there is no acceleration button. Bit lost now to what the problem could be, your suggestions were all good however.

Do you know what the difference between RST and RSTe (enterprise) is? I'm running standard RST drivers (not enterprise).
 
idk what the difference is,pretty sure theres a way to trick the os so you can cache a non os drive

but I cant remember where I read about it,ill try n find it,it envolved swapping hdd's

what board are you using? if gigabyte they have their own software that sets up caching for you

Hi Wazza,

I might give it ago, however I'm a bit wary of Gigabyte software. This machine is quite an important development machine and worried about the software taking out my RAID recovery and thinking i'm trying to accelerate the OS drive. If I was controlling manually from Intel RST would be much happier.
 
I think it has to be a hdd with the os on it before you can accelerate it

it wont accelerate a non os hdd,thats where the problem lies
