Intel SRT limited to one cache?

Just migrated my Win 8.1 install to a new Samsung 850 EVO on an intel Z68 rig.

Previously I was using a 120gb Hyper x for OS, and a second Hyper x for SRT cache on an HDD.

Since then I've added a second HDD, and the samsung SSD above.



So I've got two spare Hyper X, and can only seem to enable disk acceleration on one.

I had previously thought that it was one SSD per HDD for caching.




Is this a limitation of Intel SRT or am I missing something?





edit: One disk or volume at a time can be accelerated per system. -Per the RST help file :(

It is just a cheap consumer solution. Just like Samsung RAPID, which is limited to a single SSD as well.
 
So you cloned your OS to a cheap and issue prone drive and now want more bang for buck? Clean Load FTW!

Put two Hyper's in RAID-0 and then use the Evo for a cache over the HDD's.

If still not clear, Intel SRT works by using a single SSD upto 60GB (rest of space is either wasted or can be formatted and used, throw your page file there is keen) over a single volume. That volume can be a single disk or a RAID volume. You can have a mirrored or striped, even a parity array with a cache SSD on the job.

For the above response that seems a little pissy, it actually works very well.

I regularly build systems with mirrored WD Blacks for the OS/Programs with a 60GB SSD as cache and they run very well.
