@Fernando I did that and Write did improve even tho that shuts down AHCHI mode but that's not what I'm looking for. I had 560 read and 540-550 write WITH all of this enabled like a month ago... I'm thankful for this too,you learn something every day I guess. Still,need a real fix or I'll be asking for RMA which can take time :(

@Fernando
I run benchmarks without anything in background. Only Nvidia drivers basicly.
1. I did most of those. I have clean install of windows maybe less then a month old. 1903 build.
Some steps are kinda hard to get to such as #8. because I tested a lot of versions and some are better some worse but can't find that "sweetspot".
2. AHCI,was writing in a hurry.
3. Should've not mentioned it probably but I was trying to find best AHCI/RAID driver for myself which kinda is related..

@Fernando I have windows defender completely disabled. Installed malwarebytes (have premium) but it doesn't run with windows,only manages firewall and even service doesn't run WITH windows.
I check msconfig on weekly bases only 2 services run (outside of microsoft services obviously) and that is: "Actual multiple monitors service" - utility for 2 monitors,but I closed the program when I tested speed and "NVIDIA Display Container LS" I also checked all of this thru CCleaner and got rid of some scheduled tasks aswell such as updates for Opera,Adobe,some Intel bs & OneDrive.
edit: Also Realtek HD Audio runs but that's imo something necessary and highly doubt that it can affect write speed by 200mb/s.

trying to install your Universal 64bit Intel RST Software v13.6.3.1001 on windows 10 1903. the installer pops up and looks like its making progress.. the bar goes up a couple times and then looks like it goes backwards and then closes. I installed the Universal Raid Drivers no problem. Great job with the certificate btw. not sure what the issue is. first time i tried it i didnt have the .net frameworks installed so just ran a few benchmarks then i clean installed windows again. still no good

Clean install W10 1903
All updates
All .Net frameworks installed
Mobo - asus rampage iii extreme
updated bios from here - https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-A...pdated-OROM-MOD
INTEL ICH10R SATA RAID Controller: v13.5.0.2164

@Fernando

The 13.6 series drivers and software were the recommended package for the mod'd R3E bios i found in the bios-mod forums.

I tried your suggestion of the 13.2 drivers/software combo. The 13.2 drivers install fine and then i restart computer and try to install the 13.2 software and it does the exact same thing as the 13.6 software. I run the RST_x64.msi and the installer opens and it starts making progress and then it looks like the progress goes backwards and closes. I'm downloading/installing the Universal 64bit Intel RST drivers and the Universal 64bit Intel RST software on Windows 10 Pro 1903 x64

@Fernando
Would you mod the new v17 AHCI driver not the raid driver for testing purpose.because.
I have compare my PC
I use Corei5 Haswell
Asus H97M-Plus MB
It last support is 14.x
But my HDD performance was bad in 14.x
The booting speed was more fast in 15.x
and overall read write speed is more well than 14.x
I test with 17.x before it also shown no issues on my PC and have quite great R/W speed overall as well of my PC.

H Fernando, very good work.
I tried to understand all, but there are so many different drivers and i dont know what to do as i got confused
I have this notebook Apolo lake with N3350: https://smartnavon.eu/product/navon-navo...navonloop360-2/
i dont even know what southbridge and northbridge are

i bought SSD Kingspec N300 512gb 2242 i am getting half speeds, here is screenshot:

What driver to choose for this machine to get even close speed to 500mbs read?

EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded quoted post removed (to save space)

Thanks @Fernando
i checked that and i see what it says, but still i dont know what drivers i should choose ?

here is screenshoot
