Update: I've found out how to have both drives working at the same time and having the system boot up from the SSHD. Now is just the issue that the boot time is 2 times slower.
Sorry in advance if this post is long but I've been consumed with this problem for hours and it's so frustrating.
Recently I purchased a SSHD (hybrid drive) online and it arrived today in the mail. My plan was to substitute and move everything from the existing HDD to my SSHD. They are both 1 TB, so I cloned the entire HDD drive to my SSHD and everything worked fine. I then Deleted everything on my HDD so that all my files were only on my SSHD. However, the problems started afterwards. See, I have a Dell XPS 8910 with a very specific and annoying UEFI that for some reason either 1) Did not detect my SSHD in the UEFI when both driver were in or 2) Is very dumb. I've included screenshots of what it looks like with only the SSHD installed.
(Note: although it says HDD it is in fact my SSHD)
So here's the gist: If I hit the F12 button for the Dell desktop, and manually select my SSHD, everything works fine and it starts like it should. However, if I try automatically starting the computer without touching anything except the power button it goes into automatic repair mode and I cannot use the computer. I then proceeded to take out the HDD after scrounging the web for help (and finding nothing that worked) and the SSHD boots normally. However, before when I had only my HDD there was not a little green loading bar near the bottom of the Dell startup screen, however now there is with the SSHD. Also, my computer used to start up and only 20 seconds with the HDD but now it takes up to 30 seconds with the SSHD which is indeed very confusing. I want to be able to use both drives and not have to rely on only on one and then find out that it even lengthens my startup time.
Please help me out as I have not found any other resource online that has assisted me in this specific problem. (Online support has not worked. Nothing.)
