    Hi, I did clean Windows 8 installation. Now, I would like to restore iSSD caching, but I'm not able to find ExpressCache tool on ASUS site. Maybe iSSD caching works with Intel Rapid Storage technology and wihout ExpressCache tool now, maybe not. I don't know.

    Does anyone know to check iSSD functionality? Thank you.

    Yes, it operates under Intel's RST. :) ExpressCache is a technology proprietary of Conduciv Technologies.

    You will need the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver from Asus download section, under "others".

    You are correct, ExpressCache is a product of Condusiv Technologies and is distributed through OEM partners like ASUS, ACER , Lenovo, etc. If the user has deleted the program files of ExpressCache the user will need to go back to the OEM that originally distributed the product.
    ExpressCache works independent of Intel's RST. The Intel product is not required for ExpressCache to function.
