setup like intels srt

[c0ryp1]

hi i stumbled across drivepool because i have a small 32gb hdd that i had windows installed on but filled up almost instantly and was a huge pain to constantly manage so i was looking into caching my hdd with the ssd and intel has software to do this but unfortunately my motherboard is not supported i got halfway thru the setup process befor it barked at me. so i was doing some googling and came across drivepool and read that it is capable of doing this aswell but i am at a loss on how to do it. i wanted my entire drive cached read/write but when i do the drag folders into the hidden drive pool folder it will not let me add program files or windowsfolders so this will not give me a performance increase with boot times/program loads. cannot find any guides on how to setup so any help is appreciated

Unfortunately, we can't move the Windows folder off of the C:\ drive.  The drive loads too late in the boot process to support this, so the Windows directory must remain on the C:\ drive, and in it's location. 

 

Additionally, it sounds like the system drive is non-removeable, so you cannot swap it out? 

 

If this is the case, there isn't a lot that StableBit DrivePool can help out here. 

 

You can, however, install programs to the Pool drive. And you could use an additional SSD and/or HDDs to add additional storage to the system.  But you'd really need 3 disks for this (one for the system, and two for the pool.

ok thanks for clarifying

You are very welcome.

 

Though, things like the user folders, can be moved over to the Pool without issue.  

 

ALso, utilities such as "WinDirStat" may be a good way to see where all the capacity is being used at.
