Hey All,
Recently I purchased a Windows 8 Y510p (SLI Config) that came with a 1TB HDD and a 24GB SSD "Cache" to my knowlege. Upon booting the system, I opened "My Computer" and found that both drives were visable. The HDD is listed as Windows8_OS (884 GB) as the C: Drive and then there is another drive that I am assuming is the SSD labled as LENOVO as the D: Drive (24.9 GB).
Obviously my OS and all my programs etc. are installed to the C: drive, when I open up the D: drive though, it has a "drivers" folder and a folder labled "McAffee". The first thing I did when I purchased the computer was uninstall McAfee so I dont know why this would be here, nor the drivers folder.
From my understanding about how my computer was supposed to be setup, I was under the impression that my computer would have one drive that would be comprised of both the SSD and HDD, the most used files would be automatically moved/cached/whatever to the SSD and it would be a dynamic environment. I was assuming that it would all be done behind the scenes and I wouldnt have to deal with any of the nonsense of storing files in the correct places. So my questions are as follows:
- Is the ~25 GB D: Drive the SSD portion of my hard drive
- Is this how things are supposed to be set up?
- Can I delete the drivers and McAfee folder from the D: Drive
- How can I set things up so that the "imagined' setup is what I have
- If I am wrong about anything that I said, please give me a lesson, I wouldnt want to give other people incorrect information in how these setups are supposed to work
- Does anyone else have this same situation?
Thank You Everyone!!
