            The GIGABYTE EZ Smart Response utility is a simple application that allows users   to quickly and easily configure their system for Intel® Smart   Response Technology. In the past, enabling Intel® Smart Response   meant users needed to enter the BIOS in order to configure their system for RAID   mode, which then required a complete reinstall of the operating system. Once   that processes was complete, users then needed to install the Intel®   Rapid Storage Utility as well as configure Intel's Smart Response Technology.   GIGABYTE EZ Smart Response™ does all of this automatically, without users having   to perform a complicated install process. This allows them to quickly and   effortlessly enjoy a significant boost in system performance.  |
