Intel ® Smart Response Technology
Intel ® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance by using an installed
fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity required) as a cache for frequently accessed data.
Key benefits include reduced load and wait times, and lower power consumption through the
elimination of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD performance with
hard drive capacity, operating up to 6X faster than a hard drive-only system.
* Intel ® Smart Response Technology is supported by 3rd/2nd generation Intel ® Core™ processor
family on Windows ® 7 operating systems.
** Operating systems must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel ® Smart Response Technology.
The capacity of the SSD is reserved for caching function.
Intel ® Rapid Start Technology
Allows your computer to quickly resume from a low-power hibernate state in seconds. Saving
your system memory to the designated SSD, it provides your computer a faster wake-up
response time, while still keeping the energy use low.
Intel ® Smart Connect Technology
Your computer can receive web updates with fresh content for selected applications, even
when the system is in sleep mode. This means less time waiting for applications to update
and sync with the cloud, leading to a more efficient computing experience.
Complete USB 3.0 Integration
ASUS facilitates the strategic USB 3.0 accessibility for both the front and rear panel – 6 USB
3.0 ports in total. Experience the latest plug & play connectivity at speeds up to 10 times
faster than USB 2.0. The P8Z77-V affords greater convenience to high speed connectivity.
Extra SATA 6.0 Gb/s Support

delivering up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer. ASUS provides extra SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports with
enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and double the bandwidth of current bus systems.
