You need at least one SSD (>18.6GB) and one HDD as a set to enable Intel® Smart Response Technology. A single SSD can only be assigned to one HDD for caching.

Be sure to disable the acceleration function of Intel® Smart Response Technology under OS when applying the actions below:

Removing or replacing the SSD

Updating IRST 10.5 driver

Updating BIOS

If you want to restore the OS, go to BIOS Option ROM utility and select Acceleration Options to disable Intel® Smart Response Technology.
