I used the 11.2 driver successfully for ~1yr on win7 x64 with a sata2 SSD and a sata3 HHD on a ICH9R controller. I bought a new SSD (Corsair force GS, sata3) and cloned my OS over to it, and started getting BSODs. Mostly 7a's with a pagefile on it or F4's without. I was convinced it was the SSD itself because I could go back to my old drive and everything would be fine, but if I went back to the new one I would start getting 1 or 2 BSODs everyday, but I decided to try downgrading the driver to 10.1 today and the blue screens are finally gone! Don't know if you want to try to track down my issue, but thought I would try to warn other potential users with similar hardware there's a bug.

It was something else... I got a couple of good scans after downgrading and spoke too soon... then got some more BSOD's, should have realized it wasn't the driver cause when I had the OS on the other drive it was stable, but I still got errors from the Corsair.. Anyway I went ahead and installed a fresh copy of windows on the old drive to scan with, and realized it was only hanging once, and if I pulled the power and reconnected it with windows running it would be fine which led me to believe it was something with the way my BIOS was initializing it's link.. went to BIOS and turned off SMART and UEFI... rebooted rescanned... all good turned back on SMART, rescanned still good. I went ahead and left UEFI off since I'm using legacy with a MBR anyway, and tested a lot more and it's stable.... Very strange bug.

The package doesn't seem to have a compatible AHCI driver for my motherboard. Asus P5G41T-M ich7 motherboard. Windows8 comes with a horrible ahci driver that kills the write speed of an SSD to 2mb/s. Luckily I managed to use the Windows7 driver and the speed is better. I would like to use the modified driver however device manager does not narrow down a specific driver, instead shows a list. I tried selecting a few manually but sadly the computer fails to boot into windows so clearly they are incompatible. Device manager identifies my driver as 27C0, closest I see is a ich7m 27C1 in your driver. Would it be possible to have this added in your package?

Thank you.

I am using modded drivers on my X58 ICH10R motherboard.
The OS is on a SSD (non-RAID), TRIM works. Have a RAID 5 from three drives. The BIOS RST is 10.8.0.1303 and has no issues recognizing the RAID 5 that I created in Windows with the RST software version 13.2.4.1000

I thought I had to use the modded ones because I created the RAID in Windows from no-RAID drives (and migrate data from one of the drives into RAID). Didn't want to use the BIOS utility.

Well, those three HDD where working "alone" in AHCI mode before...

Sorry for confusion. No, there was no RAID originally, when I was using modded drivers, just AHCI. Then I added enough drives to create the RAID with RST app.

Hello guys.

Which Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver is best performance for the x99 platform with SSD drives in RAID 0?

I see there is an official RST driver 13.1.0.1058 for this platform and newer ones here on win-raid.com that had to be modified to support this platform.

It is a bit weird that Intel don`t seem to care for the x99 platform and are not supporting this platforum in newer RST driver releases.

I wonder why they haven't released any new drivers and if they are intending to release new drivers or if they are just not interested in this platform.
