Installing a conventional SATA hard disk and a solid-state drive (SSD):
1.
Besides the conventional SATA disk, you also need an SSD to make it work as a cache of the hard disk. The
maximum cache memory size is 64 GB. If you use an SSD larger than 64 GB, the space beyond 64 GB can still
be used for storing your data.
The Intel Smart Response Technology requires a computer system with an Intel Z68 Chipset-based
motherboard and an Intel Core series CPU.
The operating system must be installed to the SATA disk.
Supported operating systems include Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
If you have installed the operating system before con
guring the Smart Response Technology,
all original data on the hard disk will be lost once you enable RAID mode. It is recommended that
you back up the hard disk before enabling the Smart Response Technology.
