I've bought a speedy Samsung SM951 M.2 module (PCIe version that's using AHCI) to be used for HDD+SSD hybrid storage using Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
Basically ISRT only supports up to 64GB, the rest remains unused. But 64GB SM951 doesn't exist so this is what I got. The problem begins with Intel's sotware not even recognizing the drive for some weird reason. Windows sees it, UEFI BIOS sees it, I can manipulate the partitions and all, but I just can't see it listed in Intel Rapid Storage software. HDD is listed but not the M.2 module.
Before I had a 32GB SATA SSD and it was detected and listed. This one refuses to do that.
Is Intel X99 using a 3rd party controller for M.2 or something? I just can't seem to pair it for SSD caching using Intel RAID (ISRT).
So stupid, bought the drive specifically for this and now I can't use it. I do use it with eBoostr like I have before, but I'm experiencing bizarre system hangs/lockups and only thing that really changed since then is this M.2 module. Any ideas?
