I have a Lenovo ideapad Y510p, which has lost A LOT of its speed over the last year. I recently did a full format and reinstall of Windows 10, but the effects were not as good as I hoped.
Then, recently, I discovered that my SSD cache is showing "Formatted: 0 MB" in task manager. Might that be the reason? I don't want to format the SSD disk and risk messing it anymore up, if I'm not sure that it's not supposed to be like that.

I just checked, all my SSD say Formatted = Capacity. So this is uncommon – Aganju – 2015-12-25T18:36:35.180
All of those are a little odd... My SSD is formatted = capacity, system disk = yes and page file = yes. Not sure on what your actual set up is, but it doesn't sound right. – Jonno – 2015-12-25T18:37:22.403
Thanks. And those are caches, right? This is not my main disk. – Andreas Strandfelt – 2015-12-25T18:38:02.330
Apologies - I misread the question. Mine is configured as the boot drive. What have you used to configure the drive as a cache? It's possible that, as it may not be formatted in a standard Windows format, task manager doesn't interpret it correctly and reports it as such. – Jonno – 2015-12-25T18:47:56.267
you have to activate the Intel Smart response feature again, to use the SSD as cache for the HDD : http://superuser.com/a/568719/174557
