How to install SRT

[klabauterman]

Its alive! My pc lol, i have this trouble with installing the srt, i dunno what the proper setting for the BIOS, mainly which ones to configure so that i can install SRT, I have already installed my OS (win7 64 home prem) on my SSD, i installed with both ssd and hdd plugged in, now i can't see my HDD on "My Computer", but it is detected and even says that the device is properly working, anyways I tried to install srt and it says HDD Raid something, i guess i need to configure BIOS? Would appreciate if you guys could help me out on how to install this, im hoping on installing my first game tom so It would be a great help for the HDD to be detected.

What is SRT?

 

[klabauterman]

Smart response technology, makes traditional hdd faster or something

 

[klabauterman]

Well this sucks, you actually have to activate RAID mode on your
BIOS before installing the OS for SRT to be installed, also you need to install your OS on the HDD and NOT on the ssd as the ssd is gonna be used for caching hence making booting up opening apps, games and so on to load faster, kinda sad this info came late but anyways im gonna reinstall my os, hope it works

Dont bother. It will run faster off an SSD than it will with a SRT

 

[klabauterman]

so is it ok that my os is on ssd? And just use the HDD for basic file storage?

 

[PrvtChurch]

Yup

Yeah guess so, but what if I partition my SSD like 30gb for the OS and the rest for cache, and hook up my HDD for SRT? i think that would be the best configuration for my new build, though im still skeptical bout the stability of installing SRT, anyways I i'll just go with no SRT, install the game then reinstall everything with SRT to see which would be better, thanks for the reply, i'll post back if I find out which is which

Do not partition your SSD, there is no need for it in your case Klabauterman. Instead move your docs from the C:\ drive and use it only for System, page file and programs.


This is how to move it.
