Z500 expresscache and brightness issues.

1. I've some problem's with configure my expresscache. I bought new Z500 i7 with additional 4gbram(8gb together) and 8gb ssd(expresscache).
After install windows 8, all drivers, I noticed system isnt load so fast. In short, I was searching in google to solve this problem first, but cant find an answer. How I can fix that to see my iSSD.(after intalling expresscache drivers he isnt see ssd). I didnt untwist my laptop to see whats is inside(wont lose warranty)

2. Brightness buttons dont works correctly, there is so much in google, but noone helps me. I reinstalling drivers etc.:thumbsup:

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor english.

Invalid attachment.

Also, reinstall the Lenovo Power Management, that actually contains the brightness button drivers.

 

@bumb
added new image, with disk's

also reinstaling Lenovo Power Management not helping

 

The 8GB disk is actually not an actual 8GB drive.

You have an SSHD in your laptop, thats why.

Can you run "eccmd.exe -info" as an Admin and paste your output?

 

Thats it, I hope it will helps solve that...

 

Try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Heres the link:

It's not helping anyway

 

The SSD should show up in Windows no matter what, even if it isn't formatted. Something's wrong if the SSD won't even show up with list disk in the command prompt. Nothing we say will help you until you can get that sorted out. You should try removing and reinserting the SSD. Or it could be that the SSD is dead. Me and many others have had our caching SSD's die within a matter of months.

 

@jobine702 was right, i've got sshd disk (Seagate st1000lm014). That's why didn't see my SSD? I'm not still sure its working correctly. Need I some extra drivers?

 

In that case, you don't need ExpressCache or any other software at all. It should just work right out of the box. Maybe reboot your computer a few times and you'll see the speed increase.

And yes if it's an SSHD then you won't see the SSD portion in Windows. It's not user accessible.
