Rapid Start: Hibernation Partition Size with 24 GB RAM

I ordered my W520 with 24 GB RAM and need some advice how to size the hibernation partition to use Intel Rapid Start Technology. By default the hibernation partition was 8 GB which is the standard RAM.
What size should I use 24000, 24576 or just the size of my hiberfil.sys (only 18.541 MB)?
I'm afraid to waste SSD space.

You can't create a partition for the hiberfile. As far as I know it HAS to reside on C: :-(
Personally I disable hibernation all together and use sleep-mode instead.
Sleep-mode = freeze and poweroff everything except for the RAM, which draw a tiny bit of power to keep its contents. Resume from sleep-mode is instant.
When I don't swiftly turn off the computer to sleep-mode, I turn it off for real. I think this is a good idea, to restart the Operating System and all running apps every now and then.
I think the shutdown time and startup time with compressed hibernation enabled is not that much faster than an orderly shutdown or boot.
By disabling hibernation, you free up many GB on your SSD.
To disable Hibernation and free many GB from C:
Start CMD.EXE with elevated privileges and type:
POWERCFG -H off
As kayphoonstar writes, you can reduce the size of hiberfil.sys by 50% by enabling compression
Start CMD.EXE with elevated privileges and type:
POWERCFG -H -Size 50

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.

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!
Solved!

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.

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!!!

Issues with Intel Rapid Start in Lenovo U310

I have a lenovo U310 with 500 GB HDD and 24 GB SSD. Both drive are working fine. However, when I boot my computer and reach to the desktop, I receive the error saying Intel Rapid Start Technology is not enabled. When I checked the BIOS, the Partition type for iRST appears to be INVALID. Also, I tried to download and install the driver for iRST from the Lenovo website. It installed properly, but at the end it said install the driver and finish. When I hit the finish button, I received the error saying the minimum requirements are not met.
So, I have 24 GB SSD installed. But why am I getting the error and how to fix it?
Help will be very much appreciated

The B85 supports Intel Rapid Start Technology, see one of the user guides on intel site, but it needs BIOS support.
The B85M gaming don't have it on specs page but looking at it's manual it has rapid start settings in BIOS.

Iissue with Bios update 52 on yoga(intel rapid start disappear)

Hi all.
I updated bios on my yoga 13 today.
It seems like that "intel rapid start" is off by bios ,and the item of that is disappear from bios menu .
I can't turn on rapid start,and can't even install IRST software.
Bios default setting is no use for it.
any help appreciated. thx

why the hell would this all of a sudden dissapear.. i have tried to uninstall and reinstall IRST and used disk part to properly label the GUID partition.. it looks like the software installs and the service starts, but there are no icons present nor is there a system tray icon. if i located the manger in program file and try to execute nothing happens.. this is a joke.. you cant just take features away from us then expect no backlash.im out of my return period too .. so you cripple my computer and then leave us ? hurr the up and find a solution to this problem immediately

This disk doesn't contain an EFI system partition. If you want to start up your computer with this disk or include it in a RAID set, back up your data and partition this disk.

As stated above. I get this when I try to resize my HD. Was having issues with BootCamp so I removed it and got this.

How to set desired partition size on Satellite C850-12D with W7 Pro?

Hi all,
I recently got a new laptop, Satellite Pro C850-12D with Seven Pro: the disk (500 Gb) is initially partitionned like this:
- a small hidden, 1.46 Gb
- the C: one, 449.47 Gb (visible by the user)
- a hidden one, 14.83 Gb
I would reduce the C: partition to 100 Gb in order to create a new one for DATA.
So, I begin the process using the Seven tools for disk managing but the disposable size after reduction seems limited to a max of 226.685 Gb: C remains higher or equal to 233 570 Gb.
I tried defragmentation of C but its minimal size remains 233 570 Gb
Is there a method to overcome this limit and achivce my goal of 100 Gb?

Hi
Before changing some partitions on the HDD I strongly recommend creating a Recovery disk!
The Toshiba recovery media creator helps you to create such disk and this is needed in cases something would be wrong with your HDD.
Back to partition issue:
You will need to use an 3rd party tool like *Gparted* in order to change the partition size.

Lenovo U310: Clean Windows 7 Installation Guide (including Rapid Start and Caching)

Hi there,
this is the first time that I am writing such a guide/tutorial/whatever you may call it – there are probably better ones, but though not being a total computer noob, it took me almost one week to get this pretty (now again) little beast running again. So hopefully this helps some others to avoid such stupid downtimes.
A brief overview on what has happened to my original win 7 Home Premium:
As some may know, this laptop is very well usable as a “Hackintosh” called Macbook clone. So that’s what I did. It turned out to be nice, but I wanted to go back to Windows after a while, using a clean W7 Pro installation to start over. Actually an easy task, format all drives, install Windows, be happy. Just as I had been doing this for years. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a real challenge. First, I couldn’t “see” my drives during installation (and thus not install), then I got random errors during installation aborting it at different points and finally rapid start and caching didn’t work. Every time I tried to activate them (after Win installation), it crashed my PC. I even found an (official Lenovo!) guide stating to install W7 on the SSD, which worked, but sucks due to space limitations. Oh and another very nice thing: The SSD showed up during WIN installation (but not the classical hard drive) stating it was about 60 GB. So as you can see, I have had a lot of different tries and errors. Why I didn’t use Lenovo Easy Recover? As said before, I erased all partitions…
Before we start: If you have a good Windows running on the Laptop, do yourself a favor and disconnect the RAID 0 disks using the Intel Rapid Storage Application before(!!!) proceeding. It will make things much easier. And don’t forget to get all you data on an external drive or something.
Ok, now let’s start.
1.)    Prepare a USB Stick with the following driver
         http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21730 (choose f6flpy-x64.zip If you’re running a
         64-bit system (standard nowadays), take f6flpy-x86.zip if it is a 32-bit Windows, just download and copy them
         into the stick’s root directory) and plug this stick in one of the left side USB ports.
2.)    You’ll need Win 7 on either a DVD (plus external drive, for sure) or (bootable) USB stick
3.)    Connect your drive/stick (with W7) to the right side USB port.
4.)    Switch the computer on, immediately hit FN and F2. That will open the BIOS.
5.)    In the BIOS, navigate to the very right section (“save and exit”) and navigate the cursor to “load setup defaults”.
         Hit enter to approve.
6.)    After that, go to the “boot” tab and disable UEFI-boot.
7.)    Next, go one more tab to the left and set the controller setting to RAID (NOT AHCI or Compatible!!!).
8.)    Navigate the cursor down to “Intel Rapid Start” and hit enter. A submenu will pop up-
9.)    Disable the first entry in that window, that will make the rest be disabled as well.
10.) Navigate to the very right tab, this time hit save and exit.
11.) The PC restarts.
12.) Immediately hit FN and F12 to open the boot selection menu. Select to boot from your W7 DVD drive or USB
        stick.
13.) Click yourself through the whole process of installing Windows 7 until the page comes up where you will have
        to select where to install it.
14.) Click on “load drivers” and after a few seconds your downloaded driver should be there. Click ok to use them.
        Please do this step even if you can see your drives (SSD Disk 0, 32 GB and HDD Disk 1, 465(<-?) GB) as you
        would expect them – otherwise you’re very likely to get an error during the install process.
15.) Now erase all partitions on both drives and select the HDD as the drive to install W7 to – NOT THE SSD!!!!!
        Seriously, don’t choose the SSD.
16.) Windows will probably say that some extra partitions are necessary and so on, click ok and install Windows.
17.) After the installation has finished and you see your Desktop, I suggest you to proceed with the next steps in the
        following order to see as early as possible if you are on the right way.
18.) Install the Chipset driver, restart.
19.) Install the Intel Rapid Storage “driver” and check the box where it asks to additionally install the control center.
        Reboot.
20.) Go into BIOS (FN and F2) and enable Intel Rapid Start (the one you disabled in Step 8 and 9)
21.) Boot into Windows.
22.) Click on the Windows button, type cmd and right klick on the cmd.exe, select to run it as Admin.
23.) Now you’ll create a hibernation partition on the SSD. (which by now should be completely empty as we’ve
        deleted all partitions in step 15)
24.) In the command prompt that we have just opened, type: (without quotas, for sure)
“diskpart” and hit the enter button
“list disk” and hit the enter button
Now you should see your ssd as disk 0 and your hdd as disk 1
If your ssd is disk 0 (that would be standard), write “select disk 0”, otherwise write: “select disk 1”, and hit the enter button.
Now write “create partition primary size=4096” and hit enter again. [if you have 4GB of ram, type 4096, if you have 8 GB of ram, use 8192]
Now write “detail disk” and hit enter to see the volume number behind the volume that we have just created (it is 4 GB or 8 respectively, should be easy to find), in my case that was “2”
Now type “select volume 2” if your 4 or 8 GB volume has number 2 as well, otherwise use the number you found out in step f. Hit enter.
Finally, type: “set id=84 override” and hit enter for one last time.
It should now say back that the id has been set successfully.
Exit the command prompt. (close)
25.) Reboot
26.) Install the Rapid Start driver. Reboot.
27.) Open the Intel Rapid Storage Application.
28.) Click on accelerate and approve the settings. Two RAID’s will be created. Reboot.
29.) Install the remaining drivers, have fun with Windows Update and that’s it!
Good luck to all of you… And hey Lenovo - wouldn't that have been your job after all these posts showing your costumers in trouble? Just my two cents...
If you want, you can now turn on UEFI-boot in BIOS.
PS: If, after installing all drivers, you happen to see one unknown device in your device manager – this one belongs to Lenovo Connect Software that came with your Laptop. (Updates FB, Email etc when PC is in sleep mode) If you install Lenovo Connect it’s going to be fine, however, I would not recommend it as it is said to use a lot of energy and cause some other problems. So just live with it, your PC is totally fine without it.
Kind regards from Shanghai

Seriously guys, I can't use my 3 days old laptop. Some help would be mostly appreciated. At this point, the network connection issue doesn't show up anymore, it's just a blank screen after reboot. I reinstall windows and do it all over again just to achieve the same result.
Now couple of things caught my attention: as I load the "6flpy-x64.zip" driver from step 14, I get a message saying I need to install signed drivers, because unsigned ones are likely to mess up the system.
Secondly, I could not find any Rapid Storage Technology drivers for Windows 7 (particularly for U310 model), so I use the Windows 8 ones (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS031455), which seems a silly thing, yet I know of no alternatives.
Could it be any of these issues to cause my problem? Or smth else? Please help!

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!
This question was solved.

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.

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.

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.

U310 Rapid Start Issues....go figure?

So, I didn't read up like I should have on how everything was formatted/partitioned on these U310's before going, "Hey I'm gonna install Windows 7 on this SSD! LET ME JUST REFORMAT IT!" ...so I reformatted it, then ran into all kinds of issues trying to boot from the Win 7 boot USB (Finally found out I had to turn off UEFI) ....only to come to the conclusion that I couldn't install windows 7 on the SSD because it was partitioned in GPT (I think thats what it was?)
I'm not too familiar with HD setups, partiions, and RAID...and all that, so I didn't want to screw with anything else. I booted the comp back up to windows 8, and got a Rapid Start error saying it was off...I went into BIOS and saw it said "INVALID" ...figured out it was because I reformated the SSD and deleted the cache on it.
So I ended up restoring the comp, and when I booted back up....it didn't say it was "INVALID" anymore, however, the SSD still says 24.9 GB free out of 24.9 GB. There's nothing on the SSD still. If I try to create that whole "Hibernation" partiion on it, it says there is only 2GB free, and if I bring up disk management, it says disc 0 (Which should be the SSD) is partitioned into 18GB, and 4GB (But it just says Primary partition and nothing about Hibernation)...
SO MY QUESTION ....Is Rapid Start working correctly and using the SSD even though it shows 24.9/24.9 free?
Also when I try to start Rapid Start Config ...it prompts the admin pop up, I hit ok, and then nothing happens.
Ugh, this is super frustrating. Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

When will you be able to move timer on rapid start technology gui and comp goes into S4 state, then you know that it works fine
I have problem,
I don't have acceleration button on smart response technology, how to set it up ??
Now SSD isn't useful
