Can SSD which is configured for intel rapid start be used to store data files as a normal drive

Can SSD which is configured for intel rapid start(No Smart Response) be used to store data files as a normal drive
Lenovo ideapad u310 with 24 GB SSD Partition , only 4GB has been configured as Hibernate partition for Intel rapid start, rest of the 18.36 GB has been labelled as Healthy(Primary partition).Can this 18.36 GB of SSD be configured to store data files on it without affecting Intel rapid start.

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

9470m Intel Rapid Start, Intel Rapid Storage. Is it working?

When we image our Elitebook Folio 9470m SSD notebooks with Windows 7, part of the imaging process is to install Intel Rapid Storage and Rapid Start on all these notebooks. We download the drivers from the support.hp.com driver download page for Windows 7 Profession 64-bit.
The software/drivers installs successfully with no errors, but as far as I can tell, the laptops are not booting or shutting down faster than other model laptops with SSDs that do not have this software installed. May even be slower, because it seems like the Rapid Start Technology is hanging and delaying the the shut down process when we shut down the laptops.
We have verbose status messages enabled, so when shutting down the laptops, we often see a message saying something that roughly says in other words "waiting for Intel Rapid Start Technology to shut down."
What is installing this software really accomplishing and is it effective on SSD disks and disks that have full disk encryption installed?
How can I tell if this software is doing the job it is supposed to be doing or maybe we should stop installing it on our notebooks all together?

Are these using regular 2.5 inch SSDs or mSATA mSSDs? I suspect the issue is with Intel Rapid Start. That is solely for the purpose of hibernating and recovering from hibernation faster. It really serves no other purpose and works optimally with an mSATA cache drive (which your model does not have) but does improve resume from sleep on any SSD. Intel Rapid Storage enables native command queing but that is in place anyway if the storage controller is set to ahci. I would also suspect that if your drives are encrypted fully, then Intel Rapid Start is having a problem trying to write startup information to the drive and that accounts for the hang at shutdown. Do you configure the laptops to use hibernation?
I would get two otherwise identical machines and configure one with and one without Intel Rapid Start and see if you notice any difference in bootup and shutdown time. Even on those where you have already installed Rapid Start, it can be turned off in the BIOS, thus disabling it. Personally I do not use hibernation so I do not enable Rapid Start in the BIOS and do not install the software. Rapid Storage should not cause a problem.

Intel Rapid Start stops working when RAM upgraded

I have a brand new ENVY dv7-7212nr notebook running Windows 8 64-bit.
This machine has Intel Rapid Storage Technology which caches hard disk data (I think on the 32GB SSD) and Intel Rapid Start Technology which stores active memory in the SSD cache (I think) when the computer enters a hibernation state.
The first thing I did was upgrade the RAM from 8GB to 16GB. It works fine, but then I get an error message "your system does not appear to have intel rapid start technology enabled."
HP provides very little information on this, basically none. I assume the memory is being cached on the SSD, but I don't know how to verify this. Also I notice that acceleration is not enabled under the Rapid Storage Tecnology applet for either drive.
I called tech support twice but the techs knew nothing about upgrading RAM beyond the usual and couldn't get it to work either.
Does anybody even know exactly how the SSD is being used in my system? That would be valuable information to me.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for reading my reply.
The "little SSD" is still a drive and not a chip, although you are right that it is little and it is attached to the motherboard. It is little because its form factor is not the typical 2.5 inch size but what's call "mSATA". In fact, the service manual for this dv7-7212nr laptop shows you how you can remove and replace or upgrade this mSATA SSD:
Below is a comparison of how small the mSATA form factor is to other drive sizes (from Left to Right: mSATA, 1.8", 2.5", 3.5"):
So if I want to replace the mSATA 32 GB SSD with a 64 GB SSD, I would have to get a mSATA SSD, not the typical 2.5" ones. So for this dv7-7212nr laptop, there can be 3 total drives installed: one in the mSATA slot and two in the 2.5'' drive bays. However, the default configuration as sold by HP only has one mSATA 32 GB SSD and one 750 GB SATA hard drive, with the remaining drive bay empty.
This dv7-7212nr laptop does contain all the latest (and perhaps more complex) technologies and HP probably does not expect the typical user/consumer to go and muck around all the default settings. However, if one is curious and willing to make the effort to learn, the material is just a google search away.
Here are the instructions for setting up Intel Rapid STORAGE Technology (aka Intel Smart Response Technology): http://download.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/intel_smart_response_technology_user_guide.pdf
For this dv7-7212nr laptop, you can ignore steps 1-4 because the BIOS is already configured properly from the factory (unless some changes were made by the end user).
Here are the instructions for setting up Intel Rapid Start Technology:
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/rapid_start_technology_user_guide_v11.pdf
For this particular laptop, ignore steps 1-7 but it is important to do this first: set up Intel Smart Response Technology as above, making sure to allow enough space on the SSD for a hibernation partition that is equal to or greater than the total size of RAM installed. Then follow steps 8 to the end of the guide. It is important to set up Intel Smart Response before Intel Rapid Start because Intel Smart Response will destroy all partitions and data on the disk (if you set up a hibernation partition for Intel Rapid Start first, it will be removed when you set up Intel Smart Response).
I have successfully ENable and DISable these technologies on my laptop using the above guides (with my modifications). WARNING: back up all data before trying any of this.
In your case, I agree that you can also disable Rapid START and just use the whole SSD for acceleration along with the 16 GB RAM upgrade.

Drop a database which is configured for alwayson

Hi All,
Can i delete a database which is configured for always on without removing the database from Always on availability group?
In my environment i have few databases which are configured for Always ON and all the databases belong to the same availability group. So if I remove all the databases from availability group then there is no need to retain the availability group. what are
the steps that I should follow to remove the availability group from both primary and secondary replicas?
Thanks in Advance,

How to use Intel Rapid Start technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531 computer?

I have a Thinkpad Edge 531 (model 6885-73G) preloaded with Windows 7 64bit. According to the appropriate user guide (see Thinkpad E531 User Guide - page 108) and chipset specifications Mobile Intel® HM77 Express this ThinkPad model supports Intel Rapid Start Technology with a special partition on the SSD M.2.Such an SSD with the specification M.2 (see MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2) I bought it and installed successfully on my ThinkPad, which can run a cache software FNet HybriDisk on.
However, even if I proceed exactly according to the installation script by Intel, see (Intel Rapid Start Technology User Guide) or by the installation script by Lenovo community, (see Edge E330 and Intel Rapid Start), I can not put into operation Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad, although I use the installed SSD disk with an alone partition of appropriate type (with ID type 84 on MBR) with more allocated space than the size of RAM for my ThinkPad and with the currently deployed version of BIOS (1.29) and current drivers, such is Intel (R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver version 11.1.5.1001 downloaded from the webiste of Lenovo support for this model ThinkPad Edge 531.
Since, in my opinion, based on the above specifications declared by the manufacturer Lenovo and Intel, this ThinkPad model should support Intel Rapid Start Technology, I would like therefore to know how this technology on my ThinkPad to put into operation, because of which I also bought this ThinkPad model. Does exist for this model ThinkPad Edge 531 some specific deployment scenario of Intel Rapid Start Technology? Does anyone have any practical experience with the launch of this technology on those ThinkPad models? Can it be expected that the full support of Intel Rapid Start Technology for the ThinkPad Edge 531 will occur after the release of a new version of the BIOS or a new version of Solid State Drive Firmware Update Utility with support for MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 published on the website of Lenovo support?
Thanks in advance for any advice and guidance with the launch of Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Intel Rapid Start Technology with WIndows 7 Ultimate

Hello,
I have upgraded my Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate. Got it in my domain and everything seems normal . But I wanted to check the options of that energy saving settings and can't find any information about, when does my computer go to hibernate. He does use the stand by, but for how long? Until the battery is low? That makes no sense.
The computer must go in hibernate or is this with ultrabooks going other ways?

Hi
I have further investigated and found a solution for hibernation
In order to enable hibernate in Lenovo Machines SSD support models, you will need to restart and Enter into the BIOS Setting
1. Press Fn+ F2 to enter BIOS
2. Choose "Configuration > SATA controller working mode" as "RAID";
3. Select "Configuration>Intel Rapid Start Technology", choose " iRST Support" and "Entry on S3 critical battery event" as "Disable";
. It will then automatically return to an available Windows power options setting. However, iRST (Intel Rapid Start Technology) does not have the ability to wake a system from hibernate.
Now restart the system and you will find hibernation option is enabled under power option
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

(Re)activate Intel Rapid start technolgy (RST) & RAID @U310

Dear community,
I have been frustrated about this for long time. Got U310 with win8(24GB SSD+500GB HDD).
People says I should set RAID in BIOS. But I got only error and cannot do recovery. So I set back to ACHI mode and system restored. Then error: "Your system does not apear to have Intel Rapid Start technology enabled".
- Yes, I have tried to set BIOS ACHI to RAID, no start.
- SSD 24GB is in device manager, not paritioned.
- intel RAID software installed
- So the point is: I have to activate in BIOS ACHI to RAID, but then Pc will not start.
So whats is the problem?
Now the partitions looks as this:
Could anyone help me, how to reactivate the RAID/ fast caching technolgy of RST?
Another frustration is: how to backup my system(win8) to USB media, so that I could restore factory state?
appreciate any advices, thanks in advance!

Hi, bradlutz1
thanks for your reply! How do you identify it is defective? You have now a RAID enabled U310 or U410?
My SSD HD can be manually partitioned and use as a normal R/W HDD. Just it cannot set to RAID I think, which should be set to before install windows 8. checking into BIOS, the Intel Rapid Storage technolgy (iRST) is enabled. But I still have problem( see screenshot): How does it look like for yours?
On the other side, I use windows 8 recovery programm created a USB drive as recovery media. I want to use it to reset /recovery my PC to factory default with RAID eanbale.
First I set BOIS to RAID. Boot from HDD, but still failed, it says (I think AHCI could go thru):
Seeing from the partition picture in my first post, I think the last 20G partition is Lenovo recovery, but how to backup it and restore?
Very annoying also, the Lenovo program OneKey Recovery program 8.0(for win8) gives no option to create factory DVD/USB media, while its ver. 7 did:

BTW: my PC starts within 30s to login screen (w/o iRST), is it OK?

W530: Intel Rapid Start/Smart Response tech/Lenovo Enhanced Experience

I have W530 configured by Lenovo for RAID 0 with two HDDs. I was wanting to install a mSATA SSD. I've seen two Intel Technologies and the LEE 3 (listed in the subject) that you can utilize if you have an mSATA SSD. I want to know if the two Intel techs are actually different programs or just different names for the same thing. In this lenovo thread, they seem to be used synonymously. However, I have found to pdf files that contain different instructions on how to set them up: here and here. The ladder seems like it was intended for a specific motherboard; however, the intel programs downloaded are different in both pdfs. Can anyone shed some light on whether or not these are different technologies, and if so, what the differences are.
Lastly, the Lenovo Enhanced Experience looks like a combination of the Intel programs. It seems that they just slapped there name on Intels programs Anyone know anything on that?
Thinkpad W530, i7-3720QM, 1920x1080 screen, 12GB 1333Mhz RAM, RAID 0 2x 320GB 7200 RPM HDD, Quadro K2000M, 6-cell battery, Bluetooth 4.0, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN

Also, I was looking at the tabook.pdf and it shows the W530 uses the Mobile Intel QM77 Express Chipset. The first pdf I posted showed that the Intel Z68 Express Chipset was required for the Intel Rapid Start tech. is the W530 compatiable with either of the Intel Techs?

Help Intel Rapid Start Problem U410

I've suddenly started having a problem with my U410 laptop. Everytime I put it on it shows a message that my system does not apear to have Intel Rapid Start Tecnology enabled. Ive checked the bios and it shows it being enabled but also that the IRST Partition status INVALID.
Can anyone pleas help me resolve this, I'm running Windows 8.1, the laptop is now out of warranty.

Hey everyone,
I registered just to at the very least post a possible solution to this problem. Was working on a U310 Touch unit tonight and came across the very same issue described in this post. Upon starting the unit in Windows 8, you get to the desktop and get a lovely message about Intel Rapid Start Technology not being enabled on the unit. Well, I went into the EFI BIOS and discovered that iRST was in an invalid state. Upon further investigation I noticed the 25GB partition (all within the same single hdd, as this unit did not have an ssd inside) was visible to the end user through Computer as a regular disk.
So the solution? Well, the partition somehow got unmarked as the hibernation partition! In my case, the fix was to use diskpart, select disk 0 (only hdd in machine), select the 25GB partition (was partition 7 I believe for my case) and ran this command (from the Rapid Start user guide and a microsoft forum post):
set id=D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593
This magical command sets the partition which we selected to be the hibernation partition. Once I rebooted, the error messages never came back, and I checked in the BIOS and now iRST says "Established", and everything is back to working order!
Hope this helps someone, took me a little while to figure this out.
** SMALL EDIT **
I used the default settings in the BIOS, set as AHCI in this case (no ssd, single hdd) when I checked after resetting to defaults.

Intel Rapid Start (30 Day Standby) with 32 GB RAM

Recently I bought new W540 with 8 GB RAM. Intel Rapid Start operated normally in this configuration. But when I upgraded RAM to 32 GB it hangs the laptop on second resuming from S4. I've done all the procedures to set it up properly: hibernation partition (35 GB) with id=84, latest drivers and so on.
So first time it goes to S3 (sleep), then S4 (hibernation by Intel Rapid Start) and successfully resumes from S4. Second time it goes to S3 and S4 too, but on resuming I see just black screen and blinking power button. This goes infinitely so I have to power off the laptop pressing power button for about 5-10 seconds. In case "Automatically restart" option is enabled in "Startup and Recovery" options, the laptop is just turns off.
So it is a system failure. When I boot the laptop after the failure, I see something like this in the system event log:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: D:\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 080114-229025-01.
I reproduced this behaviour in the factory installation, installed all Windows updates, updated Lenovo Power Manager, updated BIOS firmware, disabled all non-Microsoft services in msconfig, uninstall Lenovo Power Manager and install original Intel Rapid Start software (to test pure Intel technology). I reproduced the bug after every change described above. Next, I try two another RAM configurations: 16 GB and 24 GB. With 16 GB it operates normally, with 24 GB the problem reproduces.
Model: 20BG0035RT
OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1
RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR-III SODIMM 16Gb KIT 2*8Gb PC3-12800 CL9 (KHX16LS9P1K2/16), successfully passed full test by F10

Sorry if this thread is too old, but this keeps bugging me so I'm bumping and responding. I have the same issue with 32GB of RAM where I can resume once after a reboot, then the system won't quite power on on the second resume cycle. I've noticed that if I hibernate the system, I can also use Rapid Start once again. So I can alternate between a (slightly slower) hibernate resume and a (slightly faster) Rapid Start resume Of course, it seems like a pretty silly use of HD space to maintain both a 16gb hiberfil.sys and a 32GB hibernation partition.
The problem doesn't exactly seem like it should be RAM related, but rather something about the system powering up again following a successful IRSRT resume cycle.
I can't figure out what's causing it but it keeps frustrating me! There do seem to be other systems that handle the 32GB of RAM so there must be something with the BIOS implementation in the W series. I don't think it's a limitation of the software.

Your system does not appear to have intel rapid start technology

I have a Lenovo U310 with windows 8 and wish I could take it back. Problem after problem with this computer, both hardware and software related. I started getting this message about the Intel rapid start a couple of days ago. I went into this forum and one of the specilists suggested going into BIOS and change the SATA controller working mode to RAID and to enable IRST which I did. Now the computer can not start. It tries to load and it says that the recovery system failed. I can get to the BIOS menu again but I wont let me get to configuration screen. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks

hi yzarate,
I'm sorry to hear what happened,
If the system is giving you a failed to start Option, Restarting it May sometime give you option Like Safe mode,
If you're getting that, select that option and it should be able to start you system while in RAID then restart the system again once booted back up.
If you're not getting that message I would suggest go back to BIOS
go to the Exit TAB, Select Load optimized default or press F9 to load defaults, F10 to save and Exit and hit enter,
Try loading BIOS again and see if the configuration tab will be available,
Best Regards

Intel Rapid Start Technology does not appear to be installed

How do I get rid of this message?
It's an HP Envy dv7 Notebook, D0X38EA#ABU
I haven't upgraded any part of the hardware - it's configured as it came out of the box. It's running Win 8.1
I have looked through the forum and downloaded manuals and it all gets extremely technical very quickly. So I downloaded a driver from intel and it says "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software".
I am just a simple user. I can guess that the Intel thing will make the computer boot faster. That would be nice but I'm not qualified to start faffing around in the BIOS. Nor do I want to be.
Please just tell me how to make the message go away. It's annoying.

Z77A-GD65 and Intel Rapid Start -suddently a problem ?

Greetings.
Have been using Fast Boot with my mobo since I learned how to do it, and it has worked flawless. But suddently something annoying is begun.
When power on with IRS active, it starts to load with black screen, but after about 5 seconds, the hdd-led turns off, and my monitor goes to sleepmode (no signal from graphic-card). It then just hold there for 15-25 seconds, then wake on again and boot to windows 7.
At first I had an access-code to log into windows, and with this active the pause 15-25 seconds is after the screen to type password is on, but BEFORE I can actually type anything.
What can cause this error?
On a secondary SSD I have installed Windows 8, incl. Intel Rapid Start, and the error is ALSO there! So my guess is, that it is something in the BIOS, but I have not changed anything in BIOS (just the bootorder to start from either SSD1 or SSD2 (Win7 or Win8).
Please help if you can. I have braged about my 10 seconds start to a friend, but when I showed it to him, I had this silly error, so instead of 10 seconds it took 33 seconds. It was so embarrassing for me

Is the hibernation partition large enough? (= to the amount of ram you have installed)
Since this worked for awhile, what changed?
Did you install some new drivers, new bios or new hardware?
Might want to update the firmware of the ssd's
If you wish, you can try the newest bios: >>Beta BIOSes<< When used with the forum flash tool, it will update the me versions. Aftwards, you will need to re-install the me drivers.
Yes, it has worked, so partitions is OK. The strange thing is, that I have not changed drivers (oh yes, a driver for my Nvidia graphic card, but that was after the error began, and only in Windows 7), no new BIOS settings I can remember of, no new hardware. It just started this about a week ago without I have changed anything. I have tried to reset BIOS, and load an earlier setup-profile of BIOS (my OC-settings), but that did not help.
Oh, BTW, I can't install Microsoft SDK tool as seen here:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/177443-gathering-startup-shutdown-sleep-hibernate-reboot-trace.html
It begin install, but suddently under install, it starts to uninstall again without any error. I have an idea, that this tool might show me what is going on when starting IRS, but that might be a mistake?

Y410p Cannot install Intel Rapid Start Technology

Hi Guys, I have a Y410p and I have replaced the HDD with a SSD on windows 8. Before changed to SSD, i did not try to install the intel rapid start and thus I never know if it could work before. I re-install Windows 8 on the SSD and also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver. When I install the Intel Rapid Start, I got this error: "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software" I have checked the BIOS, I cannot see any relevant settings and I just make sure AHCI enabled. I have done the parition (on the GPT) using the set ID = D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593 I have followed this guide (UEFI)http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/rapid_start_technology_user_guide_for_uefi1.pdf Is it Y410P cannot have the Intel Rapid Start installed because of the chipset or the BIOS? Do I miss anything? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Never found a way to fix it. Me and my friends are pretty proficient with computers too. Just been shutting down my computer every time I'm done using it. Lenovo said we can send it to them and they'll take a look or replace under warranty

Z77A-GD65 - fast ram and Intel Rapid Start don't work together??

Greetings.
I have got 2x4Gbyte G.Skill CL10 2400Mhz ram. When running this ram at its default speed at 2400Mhz, Intel Rapid Start don't work. When I shut it down, it acts normal until the point where the system "wakes up" for a few seconds to write to the special partition for IRS. The PC then try to reboot, but after 2 attemps it says that the Overclocking has failed and I have the choise of F1 (setup) or F2 (load default settings and continue).
If I lower the ram speed below the default speed (i.e. don't use the XMP profile), then Intel Rapid Start works fine.
Memtest86 do not show any error at all after 4 pass with the G.Skill at 2400Mhz. To me it seems like the motherboard can't handle this speed at the state in Intel Rapid Start.
Anybody with info about what to do?

The internet is bloated with paid "reviews" ...
Here is what you have and what you paid for:
http://ark.intel.com/products/65520
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) : 32 GB
Memory Types : DDR3-1333/1600
Memory Channels : 2
Max Memory Bandwidth : 25.6 GB/s
Intel does not guarantee anything above 1600MHz.
On the top of that, 25.6 GB/s bandwidth is enough for DDR3-1600 in dual-channel only.
In other words, above 1600Mhz the perfomances boost is close to ZERO.
RAM speed over 1600Mhz does nothing? That WAS true, but not anymore. First of this:
Anandtech:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/memory-performance-16gb-ddr31333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskill
xbitlabs:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/ivy-bridge-ddr3.html
overclock.net:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1438222/battlefield-4-ram-memory-benchmark
Second, I can messure a real performance difference when using this memory at 2400mhz vs 1600mhz, f.i. Winrar5.01 x64, when searching in reg.database, and other memoryhungry programs. My graphic-card is not powerfull enough to show any difference in games, but almost anything else I _can_ se a difference.
If you honestly can read these 3 links and still say, that memory speed does not matter, I think I know more about this than you
I'm quite sure, that a big place like Anandtech is not payed to show up this result.
