No SSD Caching on Acer Ultrabook?
Acer uses Intel Rapid Start Technology (I believe RST is the right name...) for fast resume from sleep mode, but does NOT uses Intel SRT for disk caching; instead it uses "ExpressCache" from Diskeeper. ExpressCache, unlike SRT, does not need the RAID mode to be enabled in the BIOS. The 20GB SSD should have two hidden partitions: one for RST that should match the RAM size (this needs to be increased if you upgrade the RAM), and the rest dedicated to ExpressCache.
I believe SRT/RST can be downloaded directly from Intel, but ExpressCache is OEM only. ExpressCache setup files & drivers may be available from your original Acer Windows installation... I am not sure if they can be downloaded from Acer directly (to be checked). The SSD partition for RST is particular --no drive letter, special id. You may want to search for dteailled instructions on how to configyre it exactly.
Bottom line: these SSD cache configurations should be carefully reviewed before performing a clean Windows installation!

ganesh over 11 years20GB is a tad small for the OS. (As reference: My 2 year old install of win7+firefox+openOffice+thunderbird+VLC..etc started out as a 17GB install, it has now grown to 20.3GB)

HeatfanJohn over 11 yearsReading Smart Response Technology says that SRT (pre-launch name SSD Caching) requires the Intel Z68 chipset and for the integrated disk controller to be configured in a RAID mode and quote "not AHCI or IDE modes".

Tim Biegeleisen over 6 yearsAre you saying that the
+92
is optional, meaning a number may or may not start with+92
?

tprk77 over 11 yearsThis clears things up. Too bad ExpressCache is OEM only. Anyway, I guess I should have backed up the default windows install before I blew it away!
