  1. Thanks for replying so quickly, appreciated I like to think i know all this stuff but im an old noob.... Wasn't aware you could cache an HDD via an SSD and get Optane speeds, will look into it. Not sure what you mean with your second line ? I already have windows installed on an SSD, this is a secondary HDD that i am using optane with, not my boot drive.
  2. Through "on the go" learning and adjustments to my BIOS and OS i have been able to enable a 32GB Optane M.2 to help speed up delivery from my 5900RPM 4TB Seagate drive that is full of games and other applications i use daily.... The questions i have relate to the impact of what i have done in order to get it running and the impact of those changes, the primary changes where i am unsure of the impact are; 1. I had to convert my Windows 10 boot drive partition from MBR to GPT to get Windows to boot from my 860 EVO Boot Drive otherwise it would reject to BIOS each time. 2. I have to convert all SATA controllers to Intel RST and remove any Legacy post thus booting and running in UEFI mode rather than Legacy. Will either of the above two changes impact my PC on any other levels that i may not be aware of ? FYI, The Optane drive is working great, load times and functions since i installed it have been amazing compared to pre-optane.... SETUP as follows; I7-8700K (OC) / NZXT x62 Kraken / ASUS Z370-H / 16GB DDR4 LPX 3000Mhz /ASUS DUAL OC RTX 2080 / WD Black 512GB M.2 / Samsung 500GB 850, 1TB 860(Boot) / 32GB Optane+4GB Seagate HDD / EVGA 1000W 80+ Plat / AlienwareAW3418DW & Sony HW45ES Proj
