Windows 10: OS installed on Laptop SSD Cache

I have recently factory reset my computer as it was not running well and took 5 hours to boot up because of 100% Disk Usage.

After that, my OS was reinstalled and whenever I check task manager, it says I have an SSD even though I have a hard disk drive.

All third party applications that I use to look at what type my hard drive is say its an HDD because its installed on it.

I am wondering if this will cause any problems because I do not know what parts of my OS are on the SSD cache and what is on the hard drive. Also, I want to know how to transfer it to an HDD if possible. Just wondering if something bad happens

60GB SSD for OS install

I would recommend a SSD with onboard cache if your gonna install an O/S to it. The cache will drastically improve the random rewrite speed.

 

OS/caching on single mSATA ssd/ anyone familiar with this SSD ?

How do I cache my new SSD 64GB to my Z68 mobo and 1 TB HDD?

I answered my own question. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums...y-step-guide-to-setting-up-SSD-caching-on-Z68

If you already have W7 installed and do not want to reinstall do this:
1) Do not connect the caching SSD yet. First apply the following registry tweak:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Iastorv
In the details pane, right-click "Start", and then click modify.
In the Value data box, type 0

This registry change enables the RAID driver in Windows.
2) Next install the raid driver.
3) Connect your caching SSD
4) Set up caching with RST util.
