Intel SRT on P8H77-M

So, I've been trying to figure out how to setup (or enable) Intel SRT (Smart Response Technology) on my P8H77-M. Specs are below, this is an HTPC

HTPC:
Motheboard: Asus P8H77-M
CPU: i3 2130
SSD: Kingston V300 60GB
HDD: WD3200BEKT
OS: Windows 10 Pro
RST: 14.5.0.1081

Gaming:
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Gene
CPU: i7 4770K
SSD: 240 Pro, 240 Evo
HDD: WD Red 1TB
OS: Windows 10 Pro
RST: 14.5.0.1081

Now my gaming rig (specs below), shows the option in RST that I can use SRT and enable the acceleration. But on my HTPC rig, this option isn't available. I've tried a couple of combinations, but none has made the option show up.

So both systems are have the system requirements for Intel SRT. RAID is enabled in BIOS on both systems. According to Asus website, the P8H77-M is capable of Intel SRT.

I am lost. Anyone else has any thoughts ?

one important thing.. have you installed chipset drivers in the HTPC rig?... if you already installed it, download and install intel rapid storage technology software here.

also be sure that both HDD and SSD are connected to intel SATA ports and not external 3rd party SATA ports.

Chipset and RST are installed, and both HDD and SSD are plugged on the motherboard, using each the SATA 6Gbps channels.

But for now I'm gonna crash...............tomorrow again !

kinda weird then, it's the SSD blank? it need I think at least 30GB of Free Space to be able to run SRT.. the other option I think its just reinstall the OS, IIRC the RAID should be set before the OS installation, and the installation of the OS should be in the HDD, leaving the SSD in blank.. then install chipset drivers and RST, then the option will automatically appear.

Definitely blank, I've tried with an NTFS volume, tried without volume, tried MBR, tried GPT. Tried installing OS on HDD, tried on SSD. Still nada...

Pffffff.......after more reading, apparently you will need to free up a few MB at the end of the HDD or HDD where the OS is installed on, so I left out 30MB of unused partition and it showed up with the Acceleration option.
