Intel Smart Response Technology (select models only)
Intel® Smart Response Technology (SRT) is an Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RST) caching
feature that significantly enhances computer system performance. SRT allows computers with an
SSD mSATA module to be used as cache memory between the system memory and the hard disk
drive. This provides the advantage of having a hard disk drive (or a RAID volume) for maximum
storage capacity while simultaneously delivering SSD enhanced system performance experience.
If you add or upgrade a hard drive and intend to set a RAID volume, you must temporarily disable
SRT, set the RAID volume and then enable SRT. To temporarily disable SRT;
1. Select Start > All Programs > Intel > Rapid Storage Technology.
2. Click Disable acceleration on the Accelerate tab.
3. Wait for the Acceleration Mode to complete.
