Intel ® Smart Response Technology
Faster Access, Bigger Storage
Intel
® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses
an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available) as a cache for frequently accessed
operations, speeding up hard drive/main memory interaction. Key benefits are
expedited hard drive speeds, reduced load and wait times and maximized storage
utilization. Power consumption also goes down by reducing unnecessary hard
drive spin, an important part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing.
