drive. This provides the advantage of having a hard disk drive (or a RAID volume) for maximum
storage capacity while simultaneously delivering SSD enhanced system performance experience.
If you add or upgrade a hard drive and intend to set a RAID volume, you must temporarily disable
SRT, set the RAID volume and then enable SRT. To temporarily disable SRT;
1. Select Start > All Programs > Intel > Rapid Storage Technology.
2. Click Disable acceleration on the Accelerate tab.
3. Wait for the Acceleration Mode to complete.
IMPORTANT: You must temporarily disable SRT when changing RAID modes. Make the change
and then re-enable SRT. Failure to temporarily disable this feature will prevent you from creating or
changing RAID volumes.
NOTE: HP does not support SRT with self-encrypting drives (SEDs).
For additional information about RAID, see the RAID User Guide located in Help and Support or see
the HP website at
