In the video below we show how to remove the spinning disk from a Dell Latitude 5480 and replace it with a larger one and then enable SSD Caching. To use SSD Caching your PC needs:
The process to enable SSD Caching is pretty straight forward for most tech’s, but novices definitely handle it.
In the SSD Caching video we show how to enable SSD Caching:
If you have heard of the new Intel Optane SSD Caching and wondered what the improvement is on standard SSD Caching with Intel RST, the answer is not much. In simple terms Intel Optane is simply a newer SSD using very fast memory. You cannot install Intel Optane software and Intel RST software on the same PC.

Hello, We are trying to enable the SSD cache using M.2 & followed your youtube video for the same. The M.2 disk was inserted into the WWAN slot and unfortunately this disk is not shown anywhere. So just a question, your Dell 5480 (which has a touch screen), has a dedicated SSD port for M.2 disk or the WWAN port is used for the SSD? If you are using WWAN port for the M.2, what BIOS level settings were changed in order to detect the M.2 disk? Please help. We got 2 M.2 disks and few days already wasted ;)
That M.2 disk should appear in the the RAID controller which you access after boot, but before the OS starts to load.
