I'm having an issue with Windows 8 identifying my two Intel 510 120GB's as a HDD under Optimize Drives. I was hoping to be able to manually TRIM the drives, but this issue prevents me from doing so as it will attempt a defrag.
I'm attaching this image to help illuminate the situation:
From everything that I can find, Windows 'should' be identifying the RAID-0 drives as an SSD under Optimize Drives. Forcing Windows to run the built in performance tool on just Drive E shows that all benchmark scores are well above necessary.
Updating drivers and Intel Rapid Storage didn't resolve the issue (Intel RST itself sees the drives as SSD's). I have also reinstalled Windows 8. I would love any help or advice that others may have! For now I've simply disable scheduled optimization to prevent the drives from being defragged, but I would prefer to fix this issue if possible
Basic specs:
Windows 8 Pro
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming w/ bios 1.3
Intel i7 4770K
32GB Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP
Intel X-25M G2 120GB for the OS (Recognized as SSD just fine.)
2 x Intel 510 120GB for Steam/Games (Drive E, not recognized as should be. Drives are set to write-through as I don't care about write performance.)
WD Caviar Green 1TB to hold downloaded files
