Hello, I just got an Adata SP900 M.2 2242 128GB SSD for my school laptop (Lenovo T540p) and I would like to use it as a cache drive to my 500GB HDD in an attempt to make it faster. The main problem that I have is that the University has blocked the BIOS and I can not change to raid mode. I have though already set up the drive in disk management and downloaded the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver. Could somebody please enlighten me on how to set this up and get this working without re-installing windows or having to go somewhere where I'm not supposed to that has been locked by the University?

Sorry for the inconvenience if some people were searching this up for me but I have just found out how to fix it and it has worked. I used these two links to get it working if anybody is wondering about this in the future.
