Hello,

I will recive my new notebook in a couple of days and i was wondering about the RST of Intel. My notebook has a Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD and 1 750gb HDD.

My question is:
Can i use RST cashe to boost my 2nd harddrive and still use the SSD as a boot drive
180GB partision for the C drive
and 64 gb as RTS for the HDD

I ask this as it would be a great way for me to have windows 7 and a couple of "most important" programs on the C drive and use RTS to boost my games wish i will store on my D drive.

No, because the SRT drivers/caching software needs to be installed after windows. The caching nature of SRT means that it's going to include the most used system files regardless so you'll have the benefit of increased boot times.

You can only use up to 64gb of your 240GB total for SRT. The remainder can be used for whatever you'd like.
