See....Caching Does Work

thought id post the before and after caching results,windows 7 installed on a 2tb drive (this is atleast a 2 to 3 year old install and takes up 228gb of space with data)

I did a simple reg tweak to enable raid without re installing,connected my old corsair force gt 60gb ssd installed the latest intel rapid storage drivers

IMPORTANT: the ssd must be unallocated space for it to show up in rst software

then you pick what drive/os you want to cache(accelerate)

this is before caching

and below is after caching has been enabled and rebooted twice(it usually takes two to three full boots to fill up the caching ssd,then things start to load fast)

everything feels just as quick as having the os installed onto the ssd

EDIT: another restart later,improved time

yh I have windows 8.1 on my other pc

for anyone who can grab a cheap 64gb ssd then this is the best solution,now I have 2tb with instant speed

I did have the os on the ssd itself but 60gb was too small

hehe im such a night owl

well I have another storage hdd and it would let me accelerate that aswell,besides the os/hdd

but not both together unless in a raid array

 

[wazza300]

no,nothing has to be in a raid array,only if you wanted to cache two drives at once

it gave me an option to cache my os hdd or my storage hdd when I looked

EDIT: @Jason yh your right,i had a mind melt(you can only cache one drive at a time(unless they are in a raid array ect)

I think Intel are missing a trick here, it's such a shame that all HDD's on someones system can not be cached. This may be similar reason why I could not cache my data HDD given the OS was on SSD.

yeah the os has to be on atleast one hdd,then you can cache any other hdd attached

Nice, but meaningless. Just use sleep.

that's fine till you wanna turn off/restart the pc

just loading it once should be enough
