Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST)
The IRST software package enables and enhances high-performance Serial ATA (SATA) and SATA RAID capabilities for
supported operating systems. The IRST software package provides an added protection against data loss in the event of a
hard-drive failure.
NOTE:
The following conditions must be met before you can install IRST on your computer.
Your computer has a RAID I/O controller hub (ICH). If your computer does not have a RAID ICH, you cannot install IRST
unless a third-party RAID controller card is installed.
Your RAID controller is enabled by default.
CAUTION: If a SATA hard drive is already installed, disabling the RAID controller (switch to AHCI mode)
might cause your computer to display a blue screen and an error code followed by a system reboot.
