).

Intel Rapid Start Technology
•Storage:
• The system must be equipped with an SSD storage device (either
SATA or mSATA / minicard form factors), with at least 8 GB of
available storage space. (also see "Appendix A" on page 39)
• Rapid Start may be combined with Smart Response; the technologies
can share the same SSD space.
• The system cannot have multiple disks configured in a RAID array, as
striped or mirrored disk arrays will hide the Rapid Start partition from
the BIOS.
