Hey a search didn't yield the answer i needed, necessarily, so it's time to take it the the [H] experts..
My sister just got a new Dell laptop, which came with a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive and an mSATA 32GB RealSSD.
I upgraded her HDD to a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB.
In the BIOS, there are options for ATA, AHCI, and Intel Smart Response Technology, with the underlined being selected by default.
The question: which bios option should i use? Is it even worth bothering to have the SSD set up for caching? Could I / should I just set it up as a secondary drive letter for who-knows-what?
