Inspiron 7567, Intel RST
I have a Inspiron 15 gaming 7567 laptop with an Intel I7, 16 GB RAM, a 128GB M2V SSD booot drive and a 1 TB WD HDD. The HDD died and I bought a new one installed it in the computer, formatted the drive and everything boots up fine, but when I open Intel RST the accelerate tab no longer appears. Any ideas on how to get it back?

@JTB013 it’s not necessary, but as to why it’s installed, take a look at my first reply in this thread: https://www.dell.com/community/Inspiron/Why-RAID-with-a-SIngle-Drive/td-p/7502654

@JTB013 last time I looked at the Accelerate tab, it was meant to be used for systems that had a spinning HDD and a low capacity SSD module (32GB or so), and the "acceleration" involved using the SSD as a cache for the spinning HDD. You have a "full capacity" SSD and a spinning HDD, so I'm not sure what the Acceleration tab would have been able to do for you in the first place.

The drive was empty so I formatted the file system as one partition using drive management in Windows 10.

Thanks that makes sense. I guess my other question is why is Intel RST installed. Is it necessary for this set up?
