Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST)
The IRST software package enables and enhances high-performance Serial ATA (SATA) and SATA RAID capabilities for
supported operating systems. The IRST software package provides added protection against data loss in the event of a
hard-drive failure, and supports the configuration of multiple features, including:
● Configuration and maintenance of RAID 0/1
● Intel VMD support from 11th Generation platforms (see
Intel VMD Capable
Platform).
The following conditions must be met before you can install IRST on your computer.
● Your computer has a RAID I/O controller hub (ICH). If your computer does not have a RAID ICH, you cannot install IRST
unless a third-party RAID controller card is installed.
● Your RAID controller is enabled by default.
CAUTION:
If a SATA hard drive is already installed, enabling the RAID controller might cause your computer
to display a blue screen and an error code followed by a system reboot. To enable RAID, reinstall the
operating system.
