Hello everyone.

 

I have a 500GB 970 Evo Plus Nvme as my boot drive and a 2TB Seagate Barracuda for movies, games, tv shows, etc.
I have a 120GB Sandisk and I was going to sell it, but I just remembered that maybe I could use it as a the cache drive for my 2TB Seagate. Is this possible? How can I do it?

 

My motherboard is an Asus TUF Z270 Mark 2, on the latest bios (CSM enabled - legacy only, fast boot on, security mode off, UEFI off). Currently I'm running on AHCI and no RST installed.

Can you help me?

Thanks!

In windows 10 you can use storage spaces to cache the hdd.
