Intel ® Smart Response Technology
Intel ® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses 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 4X faster than a hard drive-only system.

1. Place the support DVD to the optical drive. The Drivers installation tab appears if your
computer has enabled the Autorun feature.
2. Click the Drivers tab, then click Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver software.
