Intel to Add SSD Caching Support to Its P67 Motherboards
Intel is prepping support for their Smart Response SSD caching technology to some of its older motherboards based on the P67 Express chipset.
According to a report posted just recently by VR-Zone, the Santa Clara chip giant plans towards the end of next month to add support for the Smart Response technology to a series of motherboards based on the P67 PCH (platform controller hub). The LGA 1155 boards in question are the mid-range DP67BA and DP67DE, two solutions that were released at about the same time with the Intel Sandy Bridge processors.
This move is a bit odd considering Intel stated previously the P67 chipset can't support SSD caching through the SRT (Smart Response Technology). It's extremely likely that SRT support will be introduced via a BIOS update and a series of new drivers.
