Now that I found out that I do have a hybrid disk (AXM13S2-24GM-B), I'm starting to believe it is not active. Last night I started up Task Manager and I see 2 disks - Disk 0 (C:) and Disk 1.
Disk 0 appears to be active -
Disk 1 appears to be not active. It's been this way for at least 3 hours of active use, both Metro and Desktop use.
This is supposed to be the Solid State part of my Hybrid Drive, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, at least not from the perspective of the Task Manager tool. Does anyone know of any additional tools that I could you for analysis or do you know if there is some way to activate this part of the drive?
Thank you in advance!
From reading the other question you don't have a hybrid drive but have two drives (a SSD and a HD). A hybrid drive embeds the SSD and looks like one drive to the system. If you go to admin tools disk mgmt what does that show? My gues is that the OS is installed on the hd and the SSD isn't being used. – Brad Patton – 2013-03-20T02:37:05.207
Also, depending on your motherboard, you might be able to use the two of them together AS IF they were a single hybrid drive. My ASUS motherboard has that... I think. I don't have an SSD to try it with, and I believe using it that way is destructive/requires a reinstall, so it might not be worth doing if it's available. – Mark Allen – 2013-03-20T03:46:48.983
