So this Intel smart response 20GB on board 20GB SSD. Hmmm most of us have SSD's now for out OS and people spending the cost that that motherboard will be will probably buy a SSD for their system to.

Will it make any difference to SSD's or even slow them down? and make you disable it.

The other boards looked good, But thats all they seem to have there, Just motherboards lol

It's not ment to hold actually programs. It holds the catch so it allows the program to boot up faster.>.> it can be explained better I'm sure.

Yeah I know its meant to be a cache and is a simply a SSD well thats what that video said.

My question is why would having a SSD cache be faster than simply loading of a SSD HDD?

 

[Chaney579]

Idk O.O

My first thought was it would be a nice gimmick in rigs you build for other people (parents, girlfriend, girlfriend's parents etc.)

Damn that magazine heatsink, it's the only thing i hate about this board.

I hope the G1 series is an ongoing product line so long as they keep all the extras they had on the x58 set, so top end NIC and sound card onboard etc.

Anyone else see the bit about Gigabyte EZ-Raid thingamybob. I wonder what levels of RAID this works with. He says it can create an array without having to reinstall the OS.

Hmmmmm.

You use a mechanical drive and the 20GB onbaord SSD caches that. The whole point in this tech is for people that cant afford to buy a large SSD, they couple a "cheap" ssd with a large sized mechanical HD and viola a fast and large drive. Atleast thats what i have read about this tech.

Yeah i see this but I don't believe the price will justify it's self over that of opting for a cheap 60gb SSD.

Time will tell I guess, The Idea is cool but I think it is to late for todays market. 6 months ago might have been a different story.

Yea it will all hang on the price that onbaord SSD adds to the mobo. Personally i like the idea of this tech, i being one of the many on a tight budget and not having an SSD yet would benefit from this tech . . . .if it lives up to the hype. That being sad my Z68 mobo has intel smart cache onboard but i have no plans on buying an SSD as my needs dont justify buying one, i purley use my PC for gaming and forums/youtube.
