Intel® Turbo Memory with User Pinning

Intel® Turbo Memory with User Pinning brings mobile and desktop systems performance to new heights
through the innovative extension of Flash Memory architectures into computing platforms. User Pinning
offers more options to the user to improve system applications launch time and responsiveness.

RAID :
Intel Turbo Memory with User Pinning is compatible with hard
disk drive RAID storage subsystems. In addition, the RAID
features supported with the Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
allow enhanced performance and additional protection against
data loss via redundant drives.

Performance :
Intel® NAND Flash Memory, working with the Microsoft Windows Vista*
ReadyBoost* and ReadyDrive* technologies, adds a new low-latency,
non-volatile memory cache between the system memory and the
hard drive. This enables fast access to critical data and applications.
• Fast application load times, hibernation, and resume
• Fast overall application responsiveness
• Fast boot time
• Quick access to frequently used applications and/or files
from User Pinning
• Enhanced data loss protection using RAID 1, 5, and 10

Value:
System memory (RAM) is costly, consumes significant power, and does
not retain data after shutdown and during hibernate. By adding
non-volatile memory—memory that retains data without power—into
the system, a new tier of caching improves system performance, at a
lower cost than RAM. This configuration extends the performance
when resuming from a power-off state, such as boot time
or hibernation.
