Adding a Cache of SSD drive for my laptop

I posted earlier about this and got a response from Hüffer... Maybe I misunderstood, but installing the msata ssd is proving to be more complex and more complex that I read in response to Hüffer.

When I install the SSD and start the system, I not give me the ability to choose which drive to boot from.  Instead the system tried to start, fails, seems to take a dump, and then try again.   If I use the ESC key and to open the OS boot manager, it still does not offer the possibility to choose the player and fails, but this time said he's trying to do an automatic rebuld.  (or something of the sort).  At this point, I interrupt him and force it to power down.

I tried to research the issue elsewhere, and it seems that the AHCI mode that the system works is the source of the problem.  My Intel RST not have her option "speed up" which I believe is necessary and offers instead 'performance '.  Here is a link to one of the better posts I found on the subject: http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/How-it-Works-Intel-SSD-Caching-148/

At the beginning of the post, you will see pictures of what the Intel RST should look like your SSD when adding.  The first photo shows it with five buttons with one of them being "accelerate" and notes that this picture below:

"Launching the Intel RST software and click on the 'Accelerate' button." "If the button is not present, you or the other are not in RAID mode or one of the other conditions have not been met.

I found a setting to what happens to the bios on a windows system 8 and it offers the option to enable raid.  My conclusion is that it is what I have to do to add the msata ssd in my system as a disk cache.

So... my question...

My conclusion is correct?  Or maybe the answer is that my system does not meet some other requirements to use the SSD msata as a disk cache.

My system is a Touchsmart from HP Envy 15-j003cl Notebook PC.   I found the reference in the Device Manager there the "Intel 8 series / C220 series family Platform Controller Hub ' and I read a decription of the hub there is hope that he does not support what I want to do.  (http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/8-series-chipset-pch-datashee...

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

To enter the RAID configuration, you must first go in the BIOS (F10) and turn on legacy startup and disable secure boot. Then you can enter the RAID configuration. You press ctrl-I (capital I) when you rewind until you get in the RAID configuration. You want to do the separate no RAID drives. But first let's see how they are defined by default. Go into the RAID Utility and do not change anything. Just report what you find.
