Intel® Smart Response Tech-
nology
Intel® Smart Response Technology is an Intel® Rapid
Storage Technology (RST) caching feature that acceler-
ates computer system performance by using the SSD as
cache memory between the hard disk drive and system
memory. If you have a Solid State Drive (SSD) module
included in your purchase option you may configure In-
tel® Smart Response Technology for your system.
System Requirements to support Intel® Smart Response
Technology:
• System BIOS with SATA mode set to RAID Mode.
• Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) software
installed.
• A SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) with a minimum capacity
of 18.6GB (or with a partition 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 unparti-
tioned and unallocated 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).
Note that Intel® Smart Response Technology does not
support M.2 PCIe SSDs.

1. Click the icon (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) on the
Apps screen.
2. Click Enable acceleration under Performance > Smart
Response Technology (note that you will need at least 5MB of
free unpartitioned and unallocated space on the SSD otherwise
the Smart Response Technology item will not appear).
3. Select the SSD to be used as a cache device.
4. Select the size from the SSD to be allocated for the cache
memory (any remaining space on the SSD can be used for data
storage using the simple data single-disk RAID 0 volume that is
automatically created).
5. Select the HDD (or RAID volume) to be accelerated (it is highly
recommended that you accelerate the system volume or
system disk for maximum performance).
6. Select the acceleration mode (Enhanced mode is selected by
default).
Note: Enhanced mode (default): Acceleration optimized for
data protection.
Maximized mode: Acceleration optimized for input/out-
put performance.
