About this tag
The Intel 520 series SSD is commonly used with Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) to accelerate system performance by caching frequently accessed data. Users have reported significant drops in file transfer speeds, including external USB 3.0 devices, when SRT acceleration is enabled. Transfer rates can fall from 80-125 MB/s to as low as 14 MB/s. Disabling acceleration immediately restores normal speeds. This issue has been observed with both ASUS-provided and latest Intel Rapid Storage drivers. The tag covers troubleshooting and performance concerns related to Intel 520 SSDs in caching configurations.
