• You cannot create RAID drivers on the SSD for Intel® Rapid Start and Intel® Smart Response.

Due to OS behavior, Intel® Rapid Start Technology will not work properly on system memory over 4GB 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.
