Title: GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 Need help setting up Intel Smart Response
Post by: zann0 on July 20, 2011, 04:57:09 pm

I currently have 2 ssd's and 1 hdd. I want to setup caching for my hdd using one of my ssd's and leave the other ssd as a boot drive for the OS  only. Do I set all the drives to raid0 or only the drive I want to use for caching?

Also, is this possible? I heard that if i set all of them to raid then I wont be able to use my ssd for the OS anymore because it will become one drive. If this is true, how do i set it up so that i can have a ssd for my OS and a separate hdd with caching?

Thanks  ;D

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

I must admit to not knowing that much about this new caching  as it is a new technique. As far as I can see though you won't be able to use both SSDs in RAID as they will appear as a single partition then. I must say I can't really see what you are going to gain out of this anyway as you have two SSDs and so you are not going to increase their speed at all.
