How do I manage to make my E drive (Second SSD, EVO 850) run like my C drive? If there is any missing information, please feel free to ask.

Thanks.

Simple answer you cant.

your can only have RAPID mode assist one drive. (using system ram as a buffer to make the SSD seem faster). you should be able to go to Samsung magician software and disable rapid mode. reboot and then enable rapid mode on the other ssd if you want it to make that drive the faster one. but you cannot make both drives that fast, its a limit of the software. Mabe one day Samsung will release an update that will boost both drives but as of today you are limited to one drive.

FYI SAMSUNG PLEASE DO I have two drives and would love to be able to boost both even if its slower then just single boost.

Hey max, thanks for responding! I think you may have misinterpreted, or perhaps my question was poorly worded, regardless; what I meant to say was that Magician recognises my second SSD in a weird way, not that I cannot make it run using Rapid Mode.

are you talking about the 23gb unallocated space on your first drive? its not on your 2nd

are you just asking about the name "Microsoft Storage Space Device"?

As you can see here, this is how it displays my second SSD. It shows no information, it's as if it doesn't recognise it. The 23gb of unallocated space on my first SSD is just Over Provisioning.
