Hi!
I understand, but my DELL Vostro A860 don't have in bios(A02) this option. Do you know any possibility to do AHCI in bios?

No, only Dell will be able do make AHCI support available for your system.

I finished my tests (Win10 / ESB2 AHCI / RST modded+signed), I updated my post.
Strangely the latest drivers (11.7.4.1001 & 12.9.4.1000) are the winners !

@ sancheznfy
Does your BIOS is up to date ?
If yes the only solution : Here or BIOS Mod ?

That is an interesting find.
Nevertheless you should keep in mind:
1. Nobody will realize the measured benchmark differences while doing the daily work with the computer.
2. Performance should not be the only criterion, when you compare different storage drivers. What about the stability?

1. Yes that's true ! but it is the same for SSD RAID0 and boot time ...

2. Regarding stability all drivers are relatively stable.
Exception for 11.2 and HDTune File Test : I did 5 times the test and 2 times one of the write values was divided by two.
Also with 11.2 CrystalDiskMark values (4k Q32T1) are poor but stable.

Final Note : driver 11.7 give the best result in HdTunes test but the CPU usage is higher (2.7-5.4%).
Compared, drivers "11.2 & 12.9" are always below 1.6% ...

Hello
some feedback from a quick trial of your drivers on a Z97 motherboard with a module IRST Option ROM v 13.0.0.2075

Drivers v13.6.3.1001 and v14.5.0.1081 have issues with migrating some of the volumes on a Western Digital hard-drive. In the device manager the hard-drive appears as a Portable Device and 2 volumes of the 5 in total appear as having errors.

Drivers v13.1.0.1058 and v13.2.4.1000 both seem to operate without any issues.

I have had a problem with Bitlocker. the auto unlocking not working from a cold bootup; a restart overcomes the error. So I am hoping a different driver will resolve my Bitlocker problem. Thanks for your great website.

Just for clarification: The different results you got are caused by the drivers themselves and have nothing to do with my work (modding and signing).

Hello!

Thank you for these drivers. I'm using them since last year on a P5K with an AHCI-modded BIOS and a SSD without any problems. :)

I'd just like to report that the links the OP for all v8.9.8.1005-downloads and the MEGA-mirror for "Universal 32bit Intel RST Software v12.9.4.1000" are down.

Likewise, there are also around 20 unavailable downloads in the "Recommended AHCI/RAID and NVMe Drivers"-thread's OP.

Thanks again.

All these links have just been repaired (and the other broken links as well). Thanks for the info.

we are OT, but you should get a better motherboard (Z77 or similar) to make use of SATA 3 (6.0 GB) and DDR3 1600.
throw away the current GPU as is pretty poor and of little benefit over the onboard one.

Is this a question or a report about a successful installation of this driver while running Windows XP?
By the wy: It is impossible to use any Intel RST(e) driver from v11.5.x.x.xxxx up from scratch with Windows XP, because the required TXTSETUP.OEM is missing.

Hello Dieter, and everyone else here,

I was kindly looking for some assistance, I am having some issues with install windows 10 with the correct drivers working properly on my EVGA X58 FTW3.

This system has the OROM v11.2.0.1527 and was running RST v 11.2.0.1006 happily in windows 7. I have 2 Samsung 840 Pro SSD's in a raid 0 running along with 2 Seagate 500 GB HDD in a Raid 1 of the intel controller. I have integrated the modded version of the RST driver into the windows 10 install USB stick using NTLite as directed in this forum, I noticed that after I apply the changes, the Home version disappears from the NTLite menu, I'm not sure if this is the correct behaviour or not.

Following this, I install windows 10 off the USB drive and it works splendidly, however I have issues inside windows 10. First, when you look up the storage controller on device manager, its shows the driver as being unsigned. Secondly, if I attempt to run AS SSD, I get an error that it cannot detect any hard drives and will run in manual mode. I have been able to install the RST software that was linked with the 11.2.0.1006 driver and it runs as well, however, the signed driver issue remains. I have tried running the certificate batch file included and it doesn't make any difference. I know a lot of you guys are using the classical RST drivers in Windows 10 without any issues.... Any thoughts? I can only assume I must be doing something incorrectly? Any help here would be greatly appreciated....

Not that its hear, nor there but I'm having fits with the Antec GRID 2.1 software as well that is supposed to manage my CPU cooler, it gives me an immediate Undangled exception erro saying not supported, which I haven't been able to pin down either...

almost a dozen pc's upgraded to windows 10, this is my first wall that I have hit. Once again, all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
