Just trying to get more help bro. :s13:

I can't seems to install Intel Rapid Storage Technology anywhere. I wonder if uninstalling expresscache program will help. I wish to use my mSSD as a drive instead of caching.

You mSATA SSD has to be at least 32GB in order for the windows and some minimal softwares to be installed.
Recommended is 64GB minimum. 128GB is good to have. :)

Then you just take change the HDD to SSD.
The intel rapid storage might pose some problems to some machines. You might need to uninstall that.

Anyway, a more productivity way is always to use a SSD + HDD together. SSD for speed, and HDD for space. :)
