    Hi
    I recently bought a Samsung 7 Series Chronos NP700Z5A-S05UK. It did have a a 500gb hard drive. I did a windows 8 upgrade and now it is showing it has two 500 gb hard drives. Can anyone explain please? Also the quick boot seems to not be booting up that quickly?
    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks

    What does Windows 8's equivalent of Disk Management show?

    Yes. The second hard drive is ~8GB. That is the ExpressCache (listed in the specs).

    See this thread for clues about how to get it configured.
