I have a spare 80GB Intel SSD that I am playing with. One of the nice Intel people here gave me the latest RST release, v.13.x. I thought that an 80GB drive would be okay because the extra space would be over-over-provisioning. But I cannot make it work. I first tried to create an extra partition with the extra space, but RST always deletes it when I accelerate the OS drive. Then I looked through the RST GUI hoping to find a delete option, but I could not find it. Then I looked at the RAID DOS GUI which displays right after BIOS, using cntl-i, but there does not appear to be a way to delete that data stripe. I think I already know the answer (NO!), but is there a way to delete the data storage stripe and only have the cache area on the SSD? I'm not doing any other RAID stuff on this PC, just the cache.
