In computer data storage, Smart Response Technology (SRT, also called SSD Caching before it was launched) is a proprietary caching mechanism introduced in 2011 by Intel for their Z68 chipset (for the Sandy Bridge–series processors), which allows a SATA solid-state drive (SSD) to function as cache for a (conventional, magnetic) hard disk drive (HDD).
March 2011 saw the introduction of two new SSD lines from Intel. The first, the SSD 510, used an SATA 6 Gigabit per second interface to reach speeds of up to 500 MB/s. [14] The drive, which uses a controller from Marvell Technology Group, [15] was released using 34 nm NAND Flash and came in capacities of 120 GB and 250 GB. The second product ...
Sold its NAND flash memory and SSD businesses to SK Hynix. Intel has terminated its Optane line of SSDs. No Sold its NAND flash memory and SSD businesses to SK Hynix, so SK Hynix now makes those controllers. Intel has also terminated its Optane controller business.

Another example of software that shows the health of the drive and its smart attributes. This Intel 120GB SSD also appears to be in perfect condition. [2] Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T. or SMART) is a monitoring system included in computer hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). [3]
A test by PC Pro of the 2011-launched Samsung 700Z, which included an 8 GB SSD and a 7200 rpm hard drive, showed a reduction of five seconds in boot time with Windows 7, when ExpressCache was enabled. [16] Another vendor's demo at Computex 2011, involving a laptop also equipped with an 8 GB SSD, showed a boot-time reduction of about ten seconds.
A 2 GB disk-on-a-module with PATA interface DOM (disk-on-module) SSD. A disk-on-a-module (DOM) is a flash drive with either 40/44-pin Parallel ATA (PATA) or SATA interface, intended to be plugged directly into the motherboard and used as a computer hard disk drive (HDD). DOM devices emulate a traditional hard disk drive, resulting in no need ...
A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory. [1] A cache is a smaller, faster memory, located closer to a processor core, which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations.
Authentication on power up of the drive must still take place within the CPU via either a software pre-boot authentication environment (i.e., with a software-based full disk encryption component - hybrid full disk encryption) or with a BIOS password. In additions, some SEDs are support IEEE 1667 standard. [2]
