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.

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.

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.

Intel Smart Response and RAID bios option

hi
unfortunately, i have lenovo M5400 and i am disappointed that i have another problem with this notebook.
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

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.

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)

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.

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.

MSI x48c PLatinum and Intel E8600 Problem

Hello, I'm from Greece
My computer Setup is:
Mobo: MSI X48C Platinum (bios version 7.0)
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8600
PSU: HEROLCHI 525 Watt
RAM: OCZ OCZ3SOE10664GK DDR3 4GB (2x2GB)
VGA: Albatron 8800 GTS
HDD: WD 300GB SATA
The problem is:
I bought them yesterday because i want to upgrade my system.
I connect them all properly in my case and after i turn the PC on it freeze in the MSI logo screen and cant even enter BIOS Setup.
The first time i turned the power on a message like: "Your previous overclockinn atempt was not succssefull. Press a button except del to load defaults and continue." i do what it said and freeze after that message.
This just the first time, the other times it just freeze on the logo screen. Some times it beeps one time and reset by his own and sometimes beeps four times and then reset. The most of the times it just freezes in the logo screen.
I took everything off and reinstall them. Nothing Happen.
I tried with one dimm of RAM each time in deferent positions. Nothing Happen.
I did o clear CMOS from the back button. Nothing Happen.
I perform a clear CMOS with the old method (unplug power, remove battery, wait for a couple o minutes). Nothing Happens.
I believe the problem is with the bios version i have and the CPU compatibility. I look at www.msi.com.tw and it said that this board its compatible with the INTEL E8600 but only at the 7.2 version.
How will i update my bios if my computer doesnt even enter bios setup?
Please help me. any suggestion. I'm losing my mind here!
Thanks you in advance.

Quote from: triangle on 28-August-08, 17:00:43
the only thing i can suggest is to drop in a 7.0 compatible CPU (if you can) and flash the BIOS to 7.2 that way then switch back in your new CPU. A painful process, I know ... Alternatively, if your retailer is friendly they might set it up on a test bench for you and flash it.
Andrew
Like Andrew mentioned, this is the only way out though it is a long painful process.
The other is to get a board that is compatible to the E8600 right out of the box.

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.

Compatibility between MSI i7 boards and Corsair DDR3 RAM kits?

Similar issues from other posters: Thread 1, Thread 2
Are there any known compatibility issues between MSI's Intel i7 boards and Corsair's 1600 DDR3 triple-channel kits?
My brother's machine (which has been discussed here before last time I tried to fix it) is still having trouble, and also uses the same type of RAM as the two threads above. The symptoms are:
1) Occasional lockups, followed by a reboot
2) Inability to POST: the machine will try numerous times, rebooting each time (as in threads 1 and 2), followed (eventually) by the POST saying "the previous overclocking has failed and the BIOS is reset to default settings" - as in thread 1. The machine will then (normally) boot. Reducing the RAM speed increases the chance of a successful boot, but the settings don't stick (presumably they are wiped when the BIOS is reset to the default settings). Cold boots (after the machine has been switched off overnight) tend to be the most likely to fail.
Any ideas what could be causing this, if not an incompatibility with the RAM (in 3-channel mode)? Dropping down to one stick stabilises the system, but at the expense of dropping to a mere 2GB of RAM.

Quote from: HU16E on 06-September-09, 15:10:01
Out of seven MSI X58 boards, none had a problem with Corsair sticks. With the 1600's running at 1066, they should only require default (1.50v) auto voltage. They should also work using settings of 1N 9 9 9 24 without issue. As the CPU IMC only natively supports 800/1066, your particular CPU may have a limitation of working any higher. But, something is not right within the system if it will not run the RAM at 1066. To rule out a bad stick, test with just one in the black A0 slot, & swap it out & test the other two individually. As far as DRAM voltage, if all the sticks check out ok, try raising it to 1.55V. Keep the forum updated on your progress.
Added: Make sure 'Spread Spectrum' is disabled in bios Cell Menu, as well as 'Extreme Memory Profile' if your bios has it listed.
Are they 2GB sticks? (All the threads in question use the 2GB sticks - one 3×, and one 6×)
Back around the time I tried the BIOS flash as the solution, I Memtest86'd each of the sticks individually in the MSI-recommended slot for a single-stick configuration, and each tested perfectly. Part of the advice given at the time was to disable XMP and Spread Spectrum; they already were.
Whilst I can't be certain that the RAM is the problem, at least three threads on this board now are using 2GB Corsair 1600 sticks and having strikingly similar symptoms...
I'll try investigating the voltages later today. Thanks!

Question about MSI Z87 boards and NVMe PCI-E SSDs

With the release of the Intel SSD 750 PCI-E SSD and more NVMe SSDs no doubt to follow, will the older motherboards like the Z87 series get updates so that they can boot with NVMe SSDs?
All of the Z97 and X99 boards already have compatibility:
http://www.msi.com/news/1949.html
What about older chipsets like Z87, Z77? Z87 in particular is very similar to Z97, so I'd imagine it'd be the most likely candidate.

Yeah I did.
Quote from: jkinneberg on 13-May-15, 07:04:11
Did anyone get an answer from MSI.
MSI is there going to be a BIOS release to support the ability to boot off of nvme PCIe cards for the M87 boards?
MSI Tech. 05/14/2015 We unfortunately do not have any information regarding any future support for these series boards and supporting NVMe, you , you may continue to visit our news section for updates as they become available. http://us.msi.com/news/
I think is possible though - that and it's likely these boards may support Broadwell as well.

MSI 7125 board and Esata drive hot swapping

Hello. New member with a MSI-7125 board. I have the OEM board that Geeks had. Pretty much the same as the regular 7125. I want to use an external eSATA drive and attach it using a simple eSATA bracket that just connects to the board's internal sata ports, or I will use a PCI controller card. I'm told that either will work, and that I can have hot swapping on either too. I want to be able to turn on and off the drive without turning off windows. I don't want to use the external drive as my main drive. Can anyone confirm that either interface method will work? I'm supposing the simple bracket might be faster since it will have no PCI bus to go through. Thanks

I've listed below a couple of sites that you may be intrested in. They offer the option of using eSATA or SATA on the rear plates. Don't confuse them as they use different plugs on the cables.

MSI H81M-P33 board and Intel i5 4670K OC is a no go...???

Hi to all, at first I intended to post this on normal thread but I was advised to post here,so...
I bought PC and the H81M-P33 is the board included.
CPU is Intel 4670K, PSU no name 500W, RAM goodram 4gb 1600MHZ, HDD WD blue 500GB SATA 3...and using integrated Intel GPU 4600...
I bought this CPU since after some time I could need some extra power, seller showed me parts that he will use to build this budget PC.
I saw OC on official MSI H81M-P33 web page so it looked fine to me.
BIOS on board was 7817v12.
First I tried OC Genie 4: Overclock in 1 Second...what a joke...OC nowhere in sight, and even manual OC was disabled...1600 MHz RAM was downclocked to 1333 MHz...
So I disabled OC genie to be able to try to even try to OC.
Amazing it virtually allowed me to OC CPU and I even could set RAM to 1600 MHz.
So...f10...reboot and voila OC was just virtual. Max speed was 3600 MHZ shown on CPU-z when I ran RealBench_v2.0b10_RC6_public_beta...
Frustrated...I downloaded new version of bios 7817v13, flashed it and now even more of MSI humor was revealed...now OC was disabled totally.
I am aware that this is low cost board, but misleading is misleading...or I am doing something wrong???

As I said I quote MSI info from their freaking official web site:
"OC Genie 4: Overclock in 1 Second
OC Genie 4 supercharges your speed experience! When used, OC Genie 4 accelerates your entire system and puts it into overdrive! Tuned by the professional overclockers, OC Genie 4 hands you record-breaking performance on a silver plate.
MSI Command Center is an user-friendly and easy to use app that lets you control every aspect of your motherboard with your mobile device."
After some lies about their board I even Googled a bit...
http://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Breaking-Limitations-CPU-OC-ECS-H87-B85-and-H81-Motherboards
http://www.eteknix.com/biostar-enables-h87b85-overclocking-with-bios-update/
Sure it would be nice that retailer could test OC limitations by him self, or even I could do so before buying it...sarcasm...
As from start, I said none help was expected, no official nor one from MSI fans.
My post was suppsed to be purely informatonal for others that could search info on this board.
I would not be surpised to see my that my post was deleted since it shows official info is full of misleading lies.
RAM is
http://pameti.heureka.cz/goodram-ddr3-4gb-1600mhz-cl11-gr1600d364l11-4g/
What they state is what I get, can not see how it could be their fault???
