Hi all,
I'm having issues with the Smart Response Acceleration only being available to 2 of 3 of my hard disks - and of course the one I want to accelerate is the one that isn't showing up. So everything looks like it's working, no problems turning on / off the acceleration - I just can't pick the drive I want.
Controller is set to RAID in BIOS.
Using latest Intel RST Raid drivers.
Drives are:
Disk 0 - Basic/System/Boot/Active - 480GB SSD (OS is loaded here)
Disk 1 - Basic - 2TB WD Black (Drive I want to accelerate)
Disk 2 - Basic 150GB SSD - Drive I want to use for acceleration
Disk 3 - Basic - 3TB WD Green
Disk 4 - Blu Ray
Disk 5 - Basic - 3TB WD Green
All the non-SSD drives are exactly the same in Windows Partition Manager. The only difference is the 2TB drive that doesn't show up has a physical sector size of 512 bytes, whereas the other two have a physical sector size of 4096 bytes.
I've upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and 8.1 - the problem has existed through all the versions.
Attached is the system report from Intel RST as well as a screen shot showing two drives drives I can accelerate but the 3rd one missing.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Mike
