i cannot enable intel smart response in intel rapid storage because i ave no RAID option in bios, only compatible/ahci.
why? how to fix it?

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

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.

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.

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?
Best Regards,
Georgi

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

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.

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 used a somewhat abbreviated version of this guide myslef, and did have some trial and errors

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)
Cheers and Best of luck

Intel Smart Response Tecnology is not enabled

Hi
I have a notebook HP Envy Spectre 14-3090la. I try to replace the 128GB solid state drive because the original drive is dead. After install the new drive, I try to install the OS from the original USB recovery media, but an error message appears:
"the intel Smart Response Tecnology is not enabled".
When I try to verify the new drive from the BIOS, it was no recognized
Any ideas

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):

This question was solved.

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.

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.

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 K7N2 Delta ILSR - RAID BIOS Option ???

hi ho,
i have my 2 storage devices pluged into the promise 376 onboard controller. they are not connected as a real raid (not mirror nor real stripe). my OS is win2k on the first sata device and everything was fine for a long time.
but now when my system boots, it detects the ide drives and then i see the irq board.
right after that the system stops and tells me 'disk boot failure'. so i don`t get the chance to configure my raidcontroller or my sata devices.
it is as the controller is deactivated. i remember a bios version where you could activate and deactivate the sata controller. but in my bios (right now it is v7.8) there is no such option.
i have tested so far:
- reset cmos
- flash bios v7.5 to 7.8
- disconnected sata drives
anyone with similar problems or any suggestion?
> MoBo : K7N2 Delta-ILSR Bios v7.8

watch the bottom of the screen after pressing Enter on the "Welcome to Setup" screen. There will be some moments of files being loaded, and then you should see a message appear which says "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver". This message will only stay on the screen for a couple of seconds, so press F6 as soon as you see it appear. After this is done, you will see other messages appear, and it will act as though nothing is happening, but eventually a screen will appear which will allow you to install the drivers for the sata controller.
specify a device press S, select "win 2000 promise fasttrak 376 controller" it will read floppy and load, dot not remove floppy yet, continue win2000 install it may nead to access floppy to finish installing raid driver, did you do it like this.
try making some floppy boot disks and boot to floppy instead of cd.
http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml
when you say there not listed, where did you see this? they wont be listed, windows will search for fasttrak controller so it will see sata's conected to it with out you knowing, so long as you load the controller from floppy that came with mobo as above.

Installed a RAID card in my Dell Inspiron 3847. However, the RAID BIOS does not show up and I cannot install Windows 7 to it.

That is basically a summary of the problem The Dell Inspiron 3847 does not come with RAID, so I tried installing a PCI-express 1x RAID card. However, the RAID BIOS never shows up. The HDDs show up when I install the RAID controller driver in Windows 7 setup, but I cannot install Windows 7. I am using an IOCrest SY-PEX40008 RAID card with a Silicon Image Sil3124 chipset.
I tried pressing the hotkeys for the RAID BIOS listed in the card's manual, but it seems to just cause bootup to freeze. BIOS also does not seem to detect the RAID card HDDs as boot options.

%AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field

You can use Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder

Accessing Intel Raid Bios Utility

Set it up how? A single drive or are you preparing it for a Raid?
Which connector is it attached to?
What other drives do you have and where are they attached?
If you aren't interested in running a Raid then there's no need to access the Raid Bios utility. It will only be enabled if you have set the "Configure SATA As Raid" for the Intel controller in the Bios.
In WinXP Device Manager, it's normal for the OS to identify the extra SATA ports on the 865/875 chipsets as another primary and secondary IDE controller.
Reading THE FAQ POST (specifically #5 HDD's) would also be of interest to you.

ITunes 10.5 Ratings fields broken in smart playlists and in Get Info - Options tab

Installed 10.5 on Win XP and just discovered the Ratings fields are broken in both the Smart Playlist properties box and on the Options tab of the "Get Info" window. By "broken" I mean -- just blank, can't be edited. I can see and change the star ratings directly in the track list and by the right-click menu, but when I try to make edits the Info popup the field is blank (even if the track already has a rating) and can't be edited. Same behavior on Smart Playlists, on both new smart playlists as well as smart playlists I created before the upgrade. See screen shots...

Well, I guess "never mind"... the problem went away "on its own" - I suppose a reboot fixed it, but who knows.
