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 :
I have solved the problem.
Below here the way.
- Enable Intel Rapid Start Technology in the BIOS setting
- Install Intel Rapid Start Technology driver from the HP product driver page
- 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... )
- Open Intel Rapid Storage Technology, navigate to Performance tab
- Expand the Solid-State Drive Configuration
- Klik Enable Acceleration, then you may set the cache drive in the popup
- I choose to set the entire SSD as cache drive
- Ok and restart your notebook
- Feel the difference
Hope this can help others.
Cheers,
Ilham
