I am ready to give up on RST. I have tried everything I can find on ways to enable SSD caching with RST with no success. Does anybody have any other ideas?
Here is what I have, and have done.
Have:
Asus P8Z77 WS Motherboard with Z77 chipset and 32GB of memory
Intel Xeon E3-1245 V2 Ivy Bridge CPU (LGA 1155)
2TB SATA II Drive
256GB Corsair M550 SSD
Have done:
Enabled RAID on the Intel Controller
Plugged HD and SSD into the Intel SATA ports (Not the Marvell ones)
Installed latest drivers (tried both during and after Windows install) - 13.2.3.1000
Installed Windows on HD
SSD is Online and unallocated (no volumes created)
Things I've tried:
All fresh installs, at least 10 times, of Windows 10 Tech Preview
Used DiskPart to delete all HD and SSD partitions and clean disks
Installed SSD before and after Windows install, before and after RST install
Shrunk HD volume by 1GB, 2GB...also tried expanding volume after shrinking
Tried different HD's - 500GB SATA II, 3TB SATA III
No matter what I try I cannot get the "Accelerate" tab to appear. I only have the "Performance" tab. Both disks show up in the RST "Status" tab.
I appreciate any help or ideas that anybody can offer. Thanks.
