Are all of the devices on the Intel CH-10 controller? You've not got some part of it attached to the Marvell?

That is prob the issue, both drives have to be on the Intel ports.
@Artemis - most Z68 mobos have 4 SATA III (6Gb/s) ports, plus 4 SATA II (3Gb/s). 2 of the Sata III ports will be attached to the native Intel chipset. 2 are attached to a built-in Marvel controller. You must ensure that all drives - HDD and SDD that you wish to link for acceleration, are on the Intel side of things.
Usually your mobo will have some markings to indicate which is which. Or their website / manual certainly will.
And as Earthdog subtly hinted, the Marvel controllers suck ***.
Do you have the latest driver from Intel? Sometimes you can get issues like that with an older version.
You don't need a SSD cache if your using a 240GB SSD for OSI forgot to ask this.
Will I have any problems or conflicts if I set a 240GB SSD for OS and 60GB SSD (cache) + 2TB HDD (storage)?
If not, should I setup SSD + HDD combo first before OS drive?
Also, will it be possible to do the SSD caching on X79? Or is it to early to tell?
Thanks
