Issue: Customer would report the 32GB mSATA SSD
partitions are not seen in the disk management.
Root cause: On the new Inspiron systems that are
being shipped with mSATA SSD in addition to the primary SATA hard drives, the
32GB of SSD would not be detected in the disk management. It is partitioned
with 8GB for Hibernate and the remaining size for ‘Cache’ following Intel’s
requirement for Intel®
Smart Response Technology.
mSATA SSD is used as a cache to speed up performance and
boot the system back quickly from hibernation.
Solution: Inform the user it is as design and all
Dell platforms with 32GB mSATA can only see 8GB from HDD management tool. Refer
them to the below Intel Rapid storage Technology page to view the
partition details of the SSD.
