Ok so my comp came with the 32g ssd drive. I think I need to go into the bios to do this and delete something off of it. Can someone dumb down the prossess enough for me and explain the consequences for doing so? My computer boots and runs pretty fast as is but I would like to run my internet browser and games off of it as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. But the 32g ssd is a caching drive, meaning you won't really see it as an individual drive in the computer window. It's kind of like having two hard drives in raid 0, where two drives are combined together. so you can't access it separately. But over time, the intel software will learn which programs you use frequently, and cache them to make them run faster. SSD's dont really make the browser run faster, and games only run faster of an ssd when maps are loading, live gameplay is not really affected.

I'm sure there's a way to not use it as a caching drive, and just a stand alonedrive, so you'd have two seperate drives. But its only 32 gigs, meaning you'd have room for the just the os, maybe a small game. But im with you, i prefer pure ssd, but over time it'll intel rst will remember what programs you access the most and cache them.
