HP Envy Ultrabook 4t-1200 comes with:
a. 500 GB HDD and
b. 32GB m(SATA)SSD Hard-Drive Acceleration Cache.
Does anyone know how this setup works? Specifically, what would happen if I installed system builder software--obliterating the OEM Win8 install in the process. Would the hard-drive acceleration cache function automatically? Could it be made to function?
In this regard, think about the way ready boost works. You choose to use, for example, a flash drive to serve essentially the same function as the hard-drive acceleration cache. In the first case, the OS (plus a driver), not OEM proprietary software (plus a driver), governs whether ready boost is to function. I am trying to figure out what governs whether HP's mSSD hard-drive functions. Is it an OS/driver combination, HP OEM proprietary software (plus a driver), or something else.
Note that I have not yet found an explanation on the HP site. Still looking.
