One of these models, the GA-Z68XP-UD3-iSSD, comes with an Intel 311 Series 20 GB SSD already installed on the motherboard, making it easier for users who want to use the Intel Smart Response Technology. Also, Gigabyte is proving a program called EZ Smart Response Utility, which allows you to migrate your existing hard drive to the SRT configuration without losing your existing programs and data, since to install SRT you must set the SSD and hard drive in RAID 0, which makes the existing contents of your hard drive inaccessible.
