Intel® Smart Response Technology
Intel® Smart Response Technology is an Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
(RST) caching feature that accelerates computer system performance by using the
SSD as cache memory between the hard disk drive and system memory.
System Requirements to support Intel® Smart Response Technology:
• System BIOS with SATA mode set to RAID (see “
“SATA Mode (Advanced
Menu)” on page 5 - 10 ).
• Intel Rapid Storage Technology software installed.
• A Solid State Drive (SSD) with a minimum capacity of 18.6GB (or with a parti-
tion on the drive formatted to more than 18.6GB e.g a 20GB partition set on the
SSD). Note that the SSD requires at least 5MB of free unpartitioned and unallo-
cated space (if you have used all the disk space for the partition you will need to
shrink some of space for the cache memory’s use).
See overleaf for instructions on enabling Intel® Smart Response Technology.
