Intel Desktop Board DZ68ZV Product Guide Intel® Z68 Express Chipset The Intel Z68 Express Chipset consists of the Intel Z68 Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The PCH is the centralized controller for the board's I/O paths. The Intel Z68 PCH provides Intel RST support including Intel RRT and Intel Smart Response Technology. 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. 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. 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. 16

Z68 Express Chipset
The Intel Z68 Express Chipset consists of the Intel Z68 Platform Controller Hub (PCH).
The PCH is the centralized controller for the board’s I/O paths.
The Intel Z68 PCH provides Intel RST support including Intel RRT and Intel Smart
Response Technology.
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.
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 re-
docked.
•
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.

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.
