Onboard mSATA for Intel SLC SSDs and Smart Response Technology

GIGABYTE Z68 series motherboards are equipped with the much anticipated IntelSmart Response Technology, allowing users to experience system performance similar to SSD only systems. IntelSmart Response technology works by using intelligent block-based caching of frequently used applications to improve system performance and responsiveness.

GIGABYTE Z68 motherboards are equipped with the much anticipated IntelSmart Response Technology, allowing users to experience system performance similar to SSD-only systems. IntelSmart Response technology works by using intelligent block-based caching of frequently used applications to improve system performance and responsiveness. In fact, GIGABYTE Z68 motherboards with Intel Smart Response Technology are able to outperform hybrid drive systems by more than 2X (PC Mark Vantage HDD test) and HDD-only systems by as much as 4X (PC Mark Vantage HDD test) and deliver a 60% performance improvement over HDD-only systems in PC Mark Vantage Suite.

L'idea la trovo decisamente interessante e probabilmente sarà presto implementata in moltissime schede madri, al momento la Z68AP D3 utilizza questa connessione

A questo indirizzo c'è la lista degli ssd supportati che al momento sono tuttavia pochi.

Un'ottima soluzione, poco ingombrante, per incrementare le performance del sistema senza spendere una cifra esorbitante in SSD...
