Hello.
I have OS installed on 500GB SSD.
I have second SSD 120GB.

I have 2x1TB HDD in RAID 0.
I would like to use 120GB SSD as cache for those 2x1TB in RAID.

But I can't see option in Intel Rapid Storage window.

Any help?

Do you have the latest RST driver, RAID driver, and BIOS? SSD also needs to be empty. Only reason I could see you wouldn't have "accelerate."

Think you mean Smart Response Technology (SRT). See this article on how to set it up:

Looks like it could be an issue with your BIOS or Intel RST software version. Note that it'll only use 64GB of that SSD and since you're running OS on a large SSD I don't think you'll see an improvement unless you have some specific use case that can take advantage of it.

I keep all data on that big RAID 0 disc. I don't really know what to do with this 120GB SSD.

I can't follow instructions as I'm not getting "Accelerate" option.
