Best driver for H81M-DS2 (rev3.0)? I tried multiple versions they're not as useful. About 2 months ago I had a version that was almost perfect and since couple of windows updates my write speeds went down from 520 to 320 on 860 EVO.

Hello Dieter, thank you for all the valuable work you have done with this post. The inf files are one of the things I really don't understand how to manipulate.
I'm trying to install a fresh copy of Win10 (1903) on a HP x4600 (X38/ICH9) with your classic drivers. Not successful yet. BIOS setting is to AHCI, Windows setup will not continue, stalls with 'No new drivers were found' (even though your driver is selected).
I have machines of this type running fine which are migrated from Windows 7 and using the iaStorA.sys 11.7.0.1013 driver. But I would rather start with a fresh copy of OS.

What would you recommend? Try with RST(e) Series drivers?

Thank you so much,
Beat

Thanks Dieter, understood that your drivers will not work with clean install. I have several xw4600 for special purposes and try to get them a clean install. Did one with 1803 and then updated, has a driver Microsoft storahci.sys 10.0.17736.168 (1809) and runs fine. So: I know, they can and would run fine, but Intel, Microsoft and HP just don't want it to work. Tried all the drivers I found from your post, no one is accepted. Will now try with older ISO.
But still: Any good ideas welcome :-)

Regards
Beat

Problem is: Windows Install routine doesn't recognise any controller driver (or harddrive). HDD is recognised in Bios, but not for installation.

One night later ... here is what I found. I initially tried to install Windows 10 1903 from a USB stick, created by 'MediaCreationTool1903.exe'. After selection if language, time & currency format and keyboard, setup would stall with the 'No new drivers were found ...' error message and would not continue with whatever driver I offered. This was the point of departure and the reason, I started looking around for newer drivers and what lead me to your gorgeous posts in this forum.

Motivated by your answers and since I knew, I formerly did a clean install on one of those machines, I got a older Windows 10 (1809v2, downloaded with heidoc.net's iso downloader) and created stick from it with Rufus (BIOS boot option). With this 1809 build, after the selection of language setup continued with asking for the product key, giving me the selection of versions and the option for a fresh install. When it came to the 'Where to install' question I realized, that there must have been a old installation on this disk. Deleted all the partitions and gave it a try with the 1903 installer again - which now worked perfectly.

Conclusion: It turned, that the disk was a never used small SSD which was pulled out of a Thinkpad long time ago. While 1809 installer continued the installation and let me delete the old partitions, 1903 installer did not give me chance to do so. No driver was really missed by setup, but looks like some drivers on the old partitions messed with 1903 installer.

Bonus: I will now have the pleasure to optimize the installation with one of your drivers.

@Fernando:
I installed it but still have some issues (not sure if caused by drivers but I'm guessing). I want to ask how is it possible to fix write speeds on SSD? For example on old OS 1809 build I had 560 read,540 write,later on it was 560 read,300 write then in 1903 at beggining it went back to normal (560-530/540) and after 2,3 clean reinstall on windows and current build I have 560 read,320 write and it's bugging me a lot. I don't wanna file for RMA yet because I'd have to send ssd w/o keeping all my files.

Basicly what I did on previous builds,i switched up couple of RAID drivers and my speed went back to normal I just can't remember which version.. And it was constantly fine,I'm not sure if windows is just being a d*ck or...
