Intel® Smart Response Technology
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.
System Requirements to support Intel® Smart Response
Technology:
• System BIOS with SATA mode set to RAID Mode.
• Intel Rapid Storage Technology software installed.
• A Solid State Drive (SSD) with a minimum capacity of
18.6GB (or with a partition on the drive formatted to more
34
than 18.6GB e.g a 20GB partition set on the SSD). Note
that the SSD requires at least 5MB of free unpartitioned
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).

Enabling Intel Smart Response Technology

1. Click the icon (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) on the Start
screen/on the Apps screen.
2. Click Enable acceleration under Performance > Smart
Response Technology (note that you will 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, and then click OK (Enhanced
mode is selected by default).
Note: Enhanced mode (default): Acceleration optimized for
data protection.
Maximized mode: Acceleration optimized for input/out-
put performance.
7. The page will refresh and report the new configuration under
Performance > Smart Response Technology.
