Dell Latitude Ultrabook, E-Family & Mobile Precision Reimage "How-To" Guide Appendix B Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Intel® Rapid Storage Technology offers greater levels of performance, responsiveness, and expandability than ever before. Whether you are using one or multiple serial ATA (SATA) or PCIe drives, you can take advantage of enhanced performance and lower power consumption from the latest storage technologies. Additionally, you can rest easy knowing you have added protection against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure.  Unleash the Performance of Your Solid-State Drive Intel Rapid Storage Technology has added support for next generation PCIe storage devices with transfer speeds up to 1 GB/s that maximizes storage performance and improves response time for everyday usages like photo editing, video loading, and office productivity. Dynamic storage accelerator accelerates the performance of your SSD by dynamically adjusting system power management policies to deliver up to 15 percent faster performance1 during heavy multitasking compared to default power management.  Fast Access to the Files and Applications You Use Most Intel® Smart Response Technology is a feature of Intel Rapid Storage Technology that recognizes and automatically stores your most frequently used applications and data into a high performance SSD while giving you full access to the large storage capacity of a hard disk drive (HDD). This enables a lower-cost, small-capacity SSD to be used in conjunction with a high-capacity HDD. Intel Smart Response Technology enables your system to perform faster than a system with just a HDD. Intel Smart Response Technology also supports solid-state hybrid drives (SSHDs). Intel Smart Response Technology boosts SSHD performance by informing the drive which data you use the most so it can store it into the built-in SSD, so your most frequently used data and applications are instantly accessible.  Performance with Protection: RAID Technology Most of us don't plan backup storage well in advance. Hard drive failure can be devastating, because it results in irretrievable content. Intel Rapid Storage Technology offers features that improve performance and data reliability for disk-intensive retrieval applications such as editing home video. For the fastest performance, Intel Rapid Storage Technology can combine from two to six drives in a configuration known as RAID 0, so data can be accessed on each drive simultaneously, speeding up response time. For the best reliability, Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID support includes the following levels of performance and reliability:
