My Inspiron 17R has no RAID option in the BIOS. I believe to access the Intel RAID settings it is necessary to have a mSATA drive installed (which I do not have installed at this time). When a mSATA drive is installed it seems that the acceleration option (mSATA SSD caching) may be enabled in [...]
