•
The default compressed space is the system memory size plus 2 GB. For example, if the system memory size is 8 GB, the default compressed space is 8 GB plus 2 GB, so the SSD capacity will decrease by 10 GB. If EZ Rapid Start is disabled, the decreased 10 GB will be returned to the SSD.
•
If you want to upgrade your system memory, disable EZ Rapid Start first and re-install it to ensure it can work normally.
   
(Note)
If the motherboard Chipset supports RAID, EZ Rapid Start will force the Intel® SATA controllers into RAID mode. If not, the Intel® SATA controllers will be forced into AHCI mode.
