Missing Drive (not)

by bkelly . Updated 13 years, 6 months ago

I upgraded my computer at home to an LGA i5 -2500K with a Asus Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard. 8G of ram 3 1T HDD’s 1 30G SSD and 1 60G SSD. The first round I installed Windows 7 64bit on the 60G SSD thinking that would be fast. The 3 1T drives were present at the time. I installed Intel Smart Response Technology using the 30G SSD for caching. But I realized that didn’t make sense since the 30 G SSD couldn’t cache the 60G SSD. So I scrubbed the 1st install and reinstalled Windows partitioning one of the T’s 310/620G. Putting the OS on the 310 and the Applications on the 620. This would leave the other 2T’s for assorted storage and the SSD’s for Smart Response Technology and Rapid Start Technology. It’s my understanding that each type of Technology needs a dedicated SSD. After the system has been reinstalled and all the supporting software I observe that I am missing one T. It’s present in bios but not in Drive Manager or anywhere else. When I installed I partioned and formatted as need and all T drives were present there. Any help will gratefully appreciated.
