Intel Smart Response Technology
®
Intel Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance by using an installed
®
fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity required) as a cache for frequently accessed data.
Key benefits include reduced load and wait times, and lower power consumption through the
elimination of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD performance with
hard drive capacity, operating up to 6X faster than a hard drive-only system.
®
* Intel Smart Response Technology is supported by 3rd/2nd generation Intel
family on Windows 7 operating systems.
®
** Operating systems must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel
The capacity of the SSD is reserved for caching function.
Intel Rapid Start Technology
®
Allows your computer to quickly resume from a low-power hibernate state in seconds. Saving
your system memory to the designated SSD, it provides your computer a faster wake-up
response time, while still keeping the energy use low.

when the system is in sleep mode. This means less time waiting for applications to update
and sync with the cloud, leading to a more efficient computing experience.
