    Laptop is a ProStar 373EM-3D. I have 2 750gb drives in raid 1 configuration. The laptop has a spot for msata ssd. Can I add one and use it as a Intel SRT Cache Drive with the raid 1 configuration of the other drives? The msata ssd drives were listed as a storage, OS installed, and Intel SRT Cache Drive option. Just not sure about the 2 drives in drives in raid 1 as well. I am planning to keep the OS on the hd as are now. Will it Intel SRT Cache Drive speed thing up or is a waste of time? The slow (5400) drives are a bottleneck when loading apps or booting. Should I just get faster drives?

    Thanks
