Title: issd and smart response
Post by: Klunt Bumskrint on November 29, 2012, 12:07:25 pm

Hi guys I just signed up cuz i need help from people who know about smart response tech.

I've been using an OCZ 30GB msata issd to accelerate one of my 1TB HDD's for over a year now and all has been great.

I had to do a format and reinstall windows for other reasons but now when I try and install srt it restarts in raid then i get a quick bsod, then identical boot loops. I have to switch back to ahci in bios then do a system restore to get back into windows.

My 30GB drive says it is unallocated space, does it need to be in a certain format before i run ez setup.

Can somebody help?

I'll be here waiting, refreshing the screen...... :P

Never mind the guy, i want that board he used.  it seems to be the only one in the world that actually runs RST.

Like I said though it's run perfectly for ages I think its a problem with my issd not being the right format.

Somebody help meeeeeee :'(

From what i've read about the technology, the SSD doesn't have to be any particular filesystem.  The controller accesses the drive at LBA level as appose to file level
