Product Description 1.6 Intel® Z68 Express Chipset Intel Z68 Express Chipset with Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect provides interfaces to the processor and the USB, SATA, LPC, LAN, and PCI Express interfaces. The Intel Z68 Express Chipset is a centralized controller for the board's I/O paths. For information about The Intel Z68 chipset Resources used by the chipset Refer to http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/index.htm Chapter 2 1.6.1 Intel® RST The Intel RST software package provides high-performance SATA and SATA RAID capabilities for supported operating systems. Intel RST version 10.6 enables Intel Smart Response Technology, the full SATA interface speed up to 6 Gb/s, and Intel RRT to support next-generation Solid State Drives (SSDs) or traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). Intel RST version 10.6 also includes support for larger than 2.2 TB HDDs in a RAID configuration. 1.6.1.1 Intel® RRT Intel RRT uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request: • Continuous: Changes made to data on the master drive while the system is not docked are automatically copied to the recovery drive when the system is redocked. • On request: The master drive data is restored to a previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive. 1.6.1.2 Intel® Smart Response Technology Intel Smart Response Technology supports a single drive volume that combines the high-performance benefits of SSDs with the large storage capacities of traditional HDDs to dramatically increase system responsiveness and enable faster boot times. The two technologies (SSD and HDD) appear as a single C:\ drive letter that provides you with the familiar storage identifier. The system automatically learns which files you access frequently and then copies them from the HDD to the SSD. The next time you request these files, the system loads them from the fast SSD rather than the slower HDD. For infrequently-used files, the system loads them from the HDD when you need them. 21
