Hello,
I'm upgrading some stuff on my laptop Dell Inspiron 15r 7520 and I'm in doubt about storage arrangement.
I bought a Samsung EVO 850 250Gb to substitute my HDD (1 TB). I erased all data on this HDD to use as secondary storage (in an adapter to DVD drive SATA port) and I installed a clean OS on SSD.
The doubt begins when I choosed AHCI mode on BIOS for my SSD (as samsung recomends to use RAPID MODE and to raise the performance of reading and writing), the problem is: My computer uses 32Gb mSata ( 12 Gb for cache and 8 as Rapid Start Partition) on IRST as factory default, aparently the only way to make it happen is using this SSD as RAID 0 with this mSata to "accelerate" the system.
If I use this configuration my SSD would decrease performance as RAID with an old mSata since my new SSD probably is faster?
If I still using AHCI mode, what I have to do with this mSata? For now it is unallocated and empty, this is the best way to make it?
What's the best choice: RAID to use this mSata, AHCI to use Rapid mode on magician , or just AHCI without rapid mode (since I just have 8 gb RAM)?
This doubt started when I changed HDD and I felt a little low performance for a SSD system, specially on windows boot and opening some app of Adobe, what make me think if there is some issue of using the storage arrangement that I choosed.
Sorry about this long text and all these asks, the most I read, more doubts and variables I have.
Thanks!
