Asus Vivobook s500 - How can I be sure if SSD is used for caching

[kori]

Hi all,

I am not sure if I'm at the right place here, but I didn't find an Asus specific solution yet (if there's any).
I have recently bought an Asus vivobook s500, to which I have installed Windows 8.1 myself.
It has an 500 GB HDD + 24 GB SSD. How can I be sure if the 24 GB SSD is used for caching?
This PC has an core i7 3537u CPU with Intel HM76 Mobile chipset, where RAID option is not available, therefore acceleration via Intel Rapid Storage Technology is not working (as RAID can not be enabled for this chipset).
How can I be sure if caching is working, or how can it be enabled?
For your reference booting takes less than 10 secs, resuming from hibernation about 15 secs.

Thanks in advance!

It booting takes less than 10 seconds, then I would say the SSD cache is functioning properly. A typical laptop with only a hard drive usually boots in 30 - 45 seconds.
