Title: Intel Rapid technology?
Post by: comda on March 05, 2018, 02:14:34 PM

Greetings CH!

Have a computer here that is rather stumping me a tad. Its an Asus S400CA touch screen laptop that has a dual storage setup. 24gb SSD + 1TB mechanical and running software windows combines the drives. Question is, is that software intel rapid technology? I installed it but can't find it now to configure it, unless im doing something wrong. Could anyone offer some assistance?
thanks.

That is a cache drive. It would be handled by "ExpressCache" software.

Alright thanks. Any idea on how it would be setup? little confused if I should have installed windows on the SSD or on the HDD?

To use it as a cache drive the SSD has to be unpartitioned, then you install the cache software and it will create a partition that it will use.
