    I read following in

    Intel® Rapid Storage Technology 10.5.0.1027 Production Version Release Notes

    6. To enable the Intel® Smart Response Technology feature, the RST 10.5.0.1034 OROM, the RST 10.5.0.1026 driver, the RST 10.5.0.1027 user interface and the Cougar Point Z68 SKU are required.

    If it's a software restriction only, someone will hack it.

    The Intel RST 10.5.0.1034 Raid ROM is also involved, that means also the BIOS has to be hacked!

    hopefully a software solution can be found to "fool" the rst into thinking its a supported chipset.

    but it is available in pm67 chipsets now.

    AFAIK even with the HM67 chipset ssd caching isn't possible, at least at the moment!

    I rely preferably on official documentation.
    Maybe the chipsets for Haswell will support it.

    Edit: I just saw that some Ivy Bridge chipsets will support it.
