• The SSD used for Intel® Rapid Start and Intel® Smart Response is not allowed for creating RAID.

Due to OS behavior, Intel® Rapid Start Technology does not work efficiently with over

4GB system memory under Windows® 7 32-bit operating system.

Only Intel® internal SATA ports (gray and blue) support Intel® 2012 Desktop responsiveness technologies.

The performance of Intel® Smart Response Technology and Intel® Rapid Storage Technology vary with the installed SSD.
