Hello folks.
I have an ASUS P8Z77-WS, and on the board are 2 SATA 6Gb ports on the ASMedia controller that are labelled for SSD Caching. So here's my question...which is 2-fold.
1) Are those ports STRICTLY for SSD Caching, or can I use them to run an SSD as Boot, or Mechanical drives?
2) Can I create a partition on the SSD to be used JUST for Caching and use the remainder for Boot?
Second question deals with USB QuickGate, a feature of this board.
1) Can this USB QuickGate be used for ANY USB drive? Or is it specific types of applications or files? I understand the QuickGate is a security feature to essentially keep a drive where someone can't get to it.
2) If yes to #1, can I put a USB drive with Windows Recovery data on it, or a second OS like a Linux Distribution?
This is becoming a bit of a priority, and I don't wanna violate any forum rules.
