Help with Intel Optane...

[XtremeShade]

Okay so I got myself an intel optane 32gb but how do i make it work with my new HDD? Like, I have one 250GB SSD and one 1TB SSD. What should I do to make the Intel Optane be raided with the HDD I just got and still have my SSDs untouched (No formats)? Do i just unplug the SSDs, plug the HDD in and change the setting which enables the optane, then plug the SSDs back in? I'm so clueless and Im not sure what to search for on Google or Youtube.

Wait, you bought Optane with knowing all about it first or how to set it up?!

It works after you contemplate your life choices

I agree. You've already invested in multiple SSDs and then went and go a cheap caching solution. Seems backwards.

But to give input on your original question, I would start with the user manual and I also think your own suggestion sounds like something to try. Techquickie has a video on setting up Optane with an SSD.

Optane can only cache the boot drive with intels software.

 

For this use setup storage spaces and make a tiering with the optane and the hdd.
