Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd, a Taiwan-based manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards and computing hardware solutions, announced its latest EZ Smart Response utility that allows users to install Intel Smart Response Technology with the click of a mouse, even if their system is set to IDE mode, without having to reinstall their Windows operating system.

The Gigabyte 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.

With the launch of the EZ Smart Response utility, Gigabyte is, thus, the only motherboard manufacturer today that gives its customers, whether they are using a standard SSD or onboard mSATA, the ability to quickly set up and install Intel Smart Response technology with the simple click of a mouse.
