How to setup Intel Smart Response

I've got an MSI B85M-G43 and installed the Super RAID driver.  The Intel Smart Response and Rapid Start buttons are greyed out.  How do I activate them?
I don't have an SSD installed yet.

That link assumes Windows7, I assume it supports Windows8 as well.
I'm thinking of using my 240G ssd as the boot drive. 
Is it best to use the Smart Responce and Rapid Start features with a separate dedicated SSD?
My other idea is to get a second 1T drive for RAID mirroring of application and other DATA.

    hi pixo,
      If you are aiming to Cache the SSD Caching,
    Try it out on a non raid setup and try this step to cache the SSD

  • SSD Cache Not Working U840 after Clean Install Intel Smart Response Technology

    Hello, I completed a clean install of Windows 8 on my ultrabook model U840 (Core i3, 16GB SSD).  I would appreciate any advice to get the SSD to use the Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) for SSD Cache.
    I used the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) driver during install and after installing Windows 8 but I do not recieve the option to Accelerate the SSD drive.  I followed the instructions and links contained in this Toshiba Forum post: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=277914
    The computer is supported for Windows 8 upgrade and clean install drivers are available at Toshiba: http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows8/drivers_cae.htm
    The BIOS is set to default for the drives (Performance). Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks.

    I urge you to at least read my post in the other Toshiba forum for a fuller grasp and overview, but I have also attached the two Intel website and PDF links for you.
    Keep in mind that there are seemingly two types or Intel Rapid Cache type options. Follow the instructions in the intel link and one of them will work for you. (I hope it does work for you because i know how frustrating this issue is)

  • IdeaPad U410, Windows 8.1 x64, UEFI, Intel Smart Response problem

    Hi,
    My machine was running a Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise on a GPT partitioned HDD UEFI enabled with bios version 65CN21WW.
    Intel Smart response and rapid start was running fine with the 32GB Samsung SSD.
    After upgraded the bios to version 65CN99WW many weird thing happened:
    - the system couldn't start, it tried to repair the system on booting,
    - The bios shows the machine as U310 model,
    - Even after a fresh install of the windows the machine couldn't start after finishing the install.
    I finally got the system working by reseting the RAID and installing the system without acceleration association in UEFI mode. But after enabling the acceleration in the Rapid Storage UI the system starts to failing again and tries to repair the system again and again.
    By disabling the UEFI, (setting it to legacy support) the system could start again.
    Why cannot the UEFI be enabled? Or what is the correct setup in the BIOS?
    Any help appreciated!
    Regards,
    R.

    Why did you upgrade the BIOS?
    I'm still keeping the old CN21 and it works perfectly with 8 Gb RAM and the new 512Gb M6 from Plextor, I barely finish typing the logon pass and windows 8.1 screen shows up.

  • S540 Intel Smart Response Technology / SRT

    Hello,
    I've recently bought a S540 laptop and  I like it very much.
    Recently I have noticed that my 16GB SSD in not used in any way.
    After some digging i realised that S540 is said to be supporting Intel Smart Response Technology.
    I didn't manage to activate it as I didn't find the BIOS Advanced / AHCI -> RAID option.
    So, the question is: did anybody succeed in setting up Intel SRT on s540 ThinkPad?

    Do you already have the ssd? I would suggest trying it and see what happens....
    There is less difference than you would expect from 3gb/s to 6gb/s even with an ssd.
    If you hang out awhile, someone that has tried this may post. Let me know how it turns out either way.

  • T520 and Intel Smart Response Technology

    Hello,
    In theory T520 chipset supports the Intel Smart Response Technology. I would like to use Intel 311 20GB SSD on mSATA slot as SSD cache to improve the storage performance. Is this possible with T520 at all? Anybody successfully made it work?

    ThinkPad does not support Intel SRT.  The support is not in the BIOS.

    When I try to verify the new drive from the BIOS, it was no recognized

    Hi,
    You don't understand. I have ONE new SSD drive, and this drive is not detected neither by BIOS nor HP USB recovery.
    I boot the system with Ubuntu live USB and I can see this drive under linux environment.
    You mentioned both an SSD and mSSD at a point.  Hence, my confusion.
    Did you update your BIOS before swapping the drives?  That is a good step to take before upgrading an SSD.  Here is a link to the latest BIOS.  However, this must be installed from within an installation of Windows.
    Let me know the result.

  • How do I set up Intel Smart Response on my hybrid drive

    I own a HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. I have a 1TB hard drive with a 32 GB SSD used for caching and accelerating using Intel's Smart Response Technology and Rapid Storage Technology console. I had to send in my computer for warranty service that included replacing the hard drive. I appears that the SSD may not have been configured.  Below I have screenshots of the screen that now shows after the POST (that didn't appear before I sent it in for service) and the Intel RST console.
    I'm just trying to get it back to its original settings, where it uses Intel's Smart Response Technology to improve performance.  How should I configure the SSD given what shows in the screenshots below?
    (You might have to right-click on the image and open it in a new tab to see it full size.)
    Since it has come back I get the following screen after the POST.  I am limited to options 3 (resetting to a non-RAID disk) and 6 (exit):

    It is fixed now. To fix it I did a complete backup of my files and settings, then, in the Accelerate window I clicked on Disassociate. I also reset to SSD to available. After rebooting a couple of times, all appears to be normal.

  • T430 support Intel Smart Response Technology

    Hello everyone,
    I was unable to get this question answered via the Atlanta support center (3 techs and three different answers).  Does the T430 (2344 5PU running BIOS G1ET45WW 1.20) support Inte's SRT?  When I look at the BIOS there is no option for RAID which is required to get this working.
    Thank you in advanced for your assistance.

  • MSI z68 board and Intel Smart Response

    Hi, I look at the MSI board on NewEgg, and I don't see any specification as they work with  ISR. I'm planing to get a GD-65 or 80 and I want to use a 64 gb SSD with a mecanical drive with this new ISR.

    Hi, I look at the MSI board on NewEgg, and I don't see any specification as they work with  ISR.
    It appears Z68 boards are capable of this technology. The big introduction & push by Intel is supposed to be in conjunction with the budget Larsen Creek SSD's release. The websites like techpowerup & others are loaded with information about ISR. All indications show ISR will definately be provided with Z68 & Panther Point. Would imagine the Intel website has some details since it is their brainchild.

  • How do I setup my smart phone to send pics to my eprint printer?

    I cannot find ANY information on how to setup my smart phone to print. I have somehow activated the printer but it does not show up on my phone! It's unfortunate that what seems to be a good service is too difficult for the average user...much less a beginner! I don't understand why the information can't be more obvious in the search tools. Thanks anyone who can help.

    Printerpuss,
    If your trying to just use ePrint, all you have to do is email what you want printer to the printers email address.
    If your trying to print directly from your phone, I would need to know what kind of phone it is first.
    The iPhone you can print directly from as long as you are on the same wireless network.
    There is also an app available for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry phones. For the iPhone and Android phones, you will want the ePrint Home & Biz app. With a Blackberry, you just want the normal ePrint app. 
    There is also a help section with some commonly asked questions on the ePrintCenter website, here is the direct link to that: https://h30495.www3.hp.com/help/about
    If you are still having issues, let me know what kind of phone and printer you have and I'll see what else I can do for you.

  • U410 Rapid Start, Smart Response setup from scratch

    Hi!
    I have a question about the built-in Intel's Rapid Start and Smart Response technology in my U410 notebook.
    The problem is that I've managed to "reset" the SSD cache drive so the raid array and the partitions are lost.
    I've tried to restore the drive structure by creating a 8GB hibernation partition, with diskaprt (on basic disk, create partition primary size=8192 id=84). After that the Rapid Start works fine. Next I've used the Intel Rapid Storage Manager utitlity to create the acceleration for a partition on the HDD. There were two option for that, the firts one is to use 18,6 GB for cacheing, the second one was to use the whole drive (max. 64GB). Chosing the second option did nothing exept throwing an error, the firts option created the cache array with the following structure:
    Array_0000:
    - Volume_001: 11GB (data)
    - Volume_002: 19GB (cache)
    In the widows drive manager the hibernation partition appeard on Volume_001 with another unallocated 3GB partition.
    The original setup was (without having the 3GB unallocated space):
    Array_0000:
    - Volume_001: 8GB (data)
    - Volume_002: 22GB (cache)
    The question is, how can I create the original array structure, for using the two menitoned technoligies, without loosing 3GB caching space, filling the whole remaining space for caching?
    I hope I was clear about the probelm  Any help appreaciaed!

    Got some reply from Intel:
    This cannot be done by the end-user with the current production version of the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver (I assume that they are using the 11.0 production version of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver).  This has been fixed in the next release version 11.5 (PV WW28 – 32).  The only option for end-user to reconfigure the SSD with cache + data is to select 18.6GB for the cache which will create 11GB for the data area of the SSD.  The correct sequence of steps for restoring the CacheSSD with the Intel® Rapid Start Technology partition:
    1.       Launch the Intel® RST GUI and click the ‘Acceleration’ button at the top of the GUI
    2.       Click Enable acceleration
    3.       Select the SSD and 18.6GB for the Cache size (this will create a cache volume size 18.6GB + data volume size 11GB)
    4.       Select the Acceleration mode (Maximized or Enhanced) and complete the Acceleration.
    5.       Once the Acceleration-enabling operation is complete you can partition any portion of the 11GB data volume for Intel® Rapid Start Technology
    Note:  The user can select any size of the 11GB data volume that they wish for the Rapid Start partition.  Any space unused can be partitioned in Disk Manager for additional data storage space.  As far as performance, there should not be much difference if any between the cache size of 18.6GB and the original 22GB.

  • How to setup a forms function in R12 to launch an URL?

    Hi All,
    In 11i we could create a forms function of the type "SSWA plsql function" to launch a html page from the menu.
    How is that supposed to work in R12?
    So my question is, how to setup a forms function to launch an URL like www.oracle.com in R12?
    thanks,
    thierry

    Hi, first set the Profile 'Restricted Text Input' to 'No' for your User.
    Then create a form function like below:
    Functional Administrator > Core Services > Function > Create (button)
    Name: XX_GOOGLE
    Code: XX_GOOGLE
    Type: SSWA jsp function
    Maintenance Mode Support : none
    Context Dependance: Responsibility
    (press continue button)
    HTML Call: javascript:void window.open("http://www.google.com")
    Leave other fields blank
    Add to HR_EMPLOYEE_DIRECT_ACCESS_V4.0 menu:
    500 XX Google XX_GOOGLE
    This will pop up your external webpage in a new window.
    The issue is that it only works from the Navigator framework page (not from within Core Forms)
