Thx for the recommendation about IRST v13!!! I will do some more reading up about Intel(R) IRT and SRT and share more about it ok… I believe since I’m on an SSD now I believe its supported… But it may take some work because I installed from the OEM Recovery method and obviously it wasn’t tailored for an SSD… Since my notebook came with a HDD… So let me see what else I can learn and get back to you! Thx!

I just wanted to point out that just like every other member of this forum… I’m just seeking to get the best possible performance from my hardware, along with good advice and knowledge!
You see even though the route I took by installing with the OEM Recovery stick solved a load of performance issues… The OEM setup was designed for a HDD right… I might be a little too picky but I would like to take full advantage of the “perks” that using an SSD offers! Which includes Hot-plugging, Intel(R) Smart Response, Intel(R) Rapid Start & possibly Intel(R) Smart Connect (I’m still researching that one) The main issue is that I’m at a considerable disadvantage because I’m on a notebook… Compared to desktop PC’s which UEFI/BIOS can be modded a lot easier, have clear RAID support… Etc… PC’s offer almost limitless upgrade and configuration possibilities… Anyways… Most ASUS notebooks and notebooks in general are pre-configured for use with HDD’s… Aside from ones that originally come with an SSD obviously… So hopefully by sharing what I’ve discovered about how ASUS enhanced my notebook and how their changes function, I will gain insight and knowledge first off… Secondly, all this info can help other notebook users that have similar issues when upgrading to an SSD…
Back to my point… I know ASUS InstantOn is an adaptation of Intel(R) Rapid Start… Except ASUS doesn’t use a separate Hibernation partition since their InstantOn was intended for HDD’s… Rapid Start needs an SSD with the separate partition to work… So I might try setting it up… The question is how it will effect Win8.1 “Fast Startup” feature… I’m still reading up on it… It might not even be worth it too start changing things around… What I’m really interested in is the whole IRST thing that ASUS improves upon somehow… How I can take advantage of it since I’m running an SSD…

Hey Fernando! By any chance would you know what “IoLatencyCap”=dword:500 do or mean? Pertaining to IRST… Installing v13.1 added that to iaStorA parameters reg key… I’ve noticed that some IRST drivers include that in the INF… As an Opt-in for StorPort entry…
