I am replacing a 64GB mSATA drive I am now using as a cache drive for my system HDD with a 1TB mSATA SSD. I would like to use 64GB of the new mSATA 1TB drive as a cache for an HDD.
Details:
Dell XPS 8500, 12GB ram, i73770 cpu
Drive 0 will be an mSATA Samsung EVO 1TB. I plan this to be the primary system drive. The mSATA slot on the mobo is SATA III, of course. I am installing Windows 10 Pro Anniversary Update.
Drive 1 will be a SATA III 7200rpm Western Digital Enterprise drive using a mobo SATA III connection. I plan a multiboot system and this drive will house a second copy of Windows 10 that I will use in the Insider program. I would like to accerlerate it with IRST.
After I install the OS on the mSATA drive can I create a second partition (64GB) and point IRST to that partition and use it to accelerate Drive 1? The remainder of the SSD would of course be used as a system drive. Please ask for clarification if I haven't clearly described my goals. Thank you.
