Hi,

 

I have HP Envy 14 with 24GB SSD and 1TB SSHD. As far as I read in some articles, the SSD should be as a cache drive, but if check in the Disk Management, it shows as unallocated disk. And Task Manager show its performance like nothing to do there ( 0 % ).

I would like to say thanks in advance for any help.

 

Best regards,

Ilham

Hi,

 

Thanks for your prompt reply.

 

The post brought me to a comment in another post :

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/set-msata-as-boot-drive-in-bio...

 

I have solved the problem.

 

Below here the way.

 

  1. Enable Intel Rapid Start Technology in the BIOS setting
  2. Install Intel Rapid Start Technology driver from the HP product driver page
  3. Install Intel Rapid Storage Technology ( this one made me confused at first ) ( https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27400/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interf... )
  4. Open Intel Rapid Storage Technology, navigate to Performance tab
  5. Expand the Solid-State Drive Configuration
  6. Klik Enable Acceleration, then you may set the cache drive in the popup
  7. I choose to set the entire SSD as cache drive
  8. Ok and restart your notebook
  9. Feel the difference

 

Hope this can help others.

 

Cheers,

Ilham

I have not worked with this setup, but I saw some links to tutorials in this thread. Might be useful read.

People are using their precious remaining lifetime to try and help, so it is common courtesy to come back and tell what the solution eventually was even if you found it elsewhere. It is for the benefit of everyone.
