Setting Rapid Storage Data and Cache volume

Hi!

I have 30GB SSD with the Intel's Rapid Start and Storage technology.

The original setup was in Intel Rapid Storage software:

Array_0000:

- Volume_001: 8GB (data)

- Volume_002: 22GB (cache)

I disabled acceleration and could use SSD as separate drive.

Now i want to restore original drive structure 8GB (data) and 22GB (cache) volume,

but i see only 30 GB (cache) in Rapid Storage software after enable acceleration.

I can't set 8GB data volume.

I created 8GB hibernation partition with diskpart (create partition primary size=8192 id=84) too

and start technology worked, but after enabling acceleration i got 30 GB (cache) volume without hibernation or data volume.

My question is how to restore the original drive structure?

Any luck? I have the SSD showing in the software, but no accelerate button either. I have recerated the hybernation partition etc, but I just can't get it to show the button

hey guys,

This caught my eye due to me just getting a laptop for my daughter this week ready for christmas. Anyway whilst doing the usual crap removal and getting the latest drivers etc i also noticed this scenario you guys are talking about. It has an msata ssd set up with cache / Raid and acceleration. So i thought im not going to mess with that just yet.

Anyhow these links may help you set up :

Second link probably best , first link is just about the system

Oh, I know how to set it up. Looks like a re-install is need to get the button to show. I ran some tests and confirmed the button shows up when the main OS drive is a platter drive after a windows install. If I do the same process but install windows onto the new 256gb SSD, I cannot use the mSATA ssd to cache...the accelerate button doesn't show up. I don't see why I can't accelerate any type of drive. Perhaps a problem with the driver/utility

Click on the Acceleration button and then Reset setting...
