So, this is supposed to be easy, and I'm sure it is and that I'm over looking something. I downloaded the latest version of Intel Rapid Storage Technology, have two WD 1.5 TB HDDs and one Crucial M4 SSD 64GB. I have thrown my installation onto one of the WD HDDs. I can view all the hard drives on "My Computer", but they aren't recognized by Intel RST. I have changed BIOS for the SATAs to the RAID configuration, and still nothing. My computer isn't utilizing the SSD for caching. I went into its properties and formatted it for ReadyBoost, which I think is something else. That only allows me to partition 32GB for ReadyBoost. I read on the help menu for the Intel RST that the SSD has to be formatted for caching, which is why I tried this. I'm looking for help if anyone has it. What steps do I need to take in order to get the SSD caching to boost performance?
