Intel ® Smart Response Technology
Intel ® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed
fast SSD (min. 0GB 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.
Before applying Intel ® Smart Response Technology, setting the SATA Mode BIOS item to
[RAID mode] in BIOS setup is necessary.
Installing Intel ® Smart Response Technology
Place the support DVD into the optical drive. The Drivers installation tab appears if your
computer has enabled the Autorun feature.
Click the Drivers tab, then click Intel
® Rapid Storage Technology Driver software.
