    I did a clean install of windows 7 pro to my corsair force 3 SSD on my np9130. I used the driver CD provided for all the sager drivers and having on issue. The intel smart start give me the following error message when I try to install it.

    "This computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for installing this software."

    I don't understand what the issue is. The intel rapid storage tech is installed with no issues.

    any ideas on how to fix this?

    System configuration:
    Sager NP9130 / Clevo P151EM1

    3rd Generation Intel® Ivy Bridge Core™ i7-3610QM (2.3GHz - 3.3GHz, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache, 45W Max TDP)
    12GB - DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory

    Did you enable the Rapid Start Technology setting in the BIOS?

    Yes it's enabled in BIOS. I have hibernation turned off and most of the other SSD tweaks suggested.

    You need to install a mSATA ssd and use the rapid start to make the mSATA work as a cache drive. This technology is for 2 drives.

    No you are mixing things up...

    The Intel Rapid Start Technology (RST) is a faster way to restart your computer when it is hibernating, and to diminish power consumption when you put it in sleep mode. Which is to say that it is just better hibernation and sleep modes. It is my understanding (though I'm not sure) that you have to separate some space in your disk (or allocate a free partition to it, I don't really know exactly which) to allow the RST to use it as a place to drop your memory's contents.

    If you've disabled the hibernation I don't see much purpose in using it...


    The Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) on the other hand (which is what hackness is referring to) is a way to use an mSATA SSD, or some other SSD cache drive, as a cache to an HDD, basically you have an HDD which is slowly accessed but has a lot of storage space, and an SSD which is a lot faster but has little storage space, and the SRT recognizes the files and programs you access more (he makes a history of how you use your computer) and copies these files to the SSD, this way you can access these programs and files faster, the rest of the files and programs, which you don't access very frequently, are left in the HDD.
