    I received my R4 with msata 32GB ( boot cache).

    I have transferred the HDD drives from my previous R3 and successfully booted etc plus done all the other necessary driver details..

    I would like to initiated the usage of the msata module with the current setup.

    I have 2 x 750gb HDD. Am running on AHCI mode. Booting system is on HDD 0.

    How do I configure msata for cache purposes in order to accelerate my system performance?
