How to install windows with srt (msata cache)?

[TheBuzzer]

This new laptop for the workplace has a msata drive.

It is setup to use intel srt however I am trying to format the computer.


I am getting confused on how should I do the format.


It sees the first drive with a single partition and only 8gb when it is 32gb cache drive

it sees the other drive with the normal windows partition.


I am guessing I will delete all the partitions and just install on the main drive and maybe after installing the intel drivers in windows, it will use the other as the cache drive and see all the space?

For SRT, Windows must be installed with the SATA controller set to RAID mode.

well i also found out that there is a feature called intel rapid start technology too.

that requires diskpart and setting some raw to have a unique id in order to install

Your Ultrabook™ just got a lot more responsive. Intel® Smart Response Technology2 quickly recognizes and stores your most frequently used files and applications where you can access them right away. You’ll save time and power with faster access to the content you use and love the most.

.Intel® Smart Response Technology accelerates the system response experience by putting frequently-used blocks of disk data on a solid-state drive (SSD), providing dramatically faster access to user data than the hard disk alone can provide. The user sees the full capacity of the hard drive with the traditional single drive letter (i.e. C:\) with overall system responsiveness similar to what an SSD-only system provides.

First time I've heard of it.
