@Malaga94:
The specific Intel SATA AHCI Controller of your notebook is not supported by any original Intel AHCI driver.
So you should install any of my mod+signed Intel RST AHCI drivers (my tip: v13.2.8.1002), if you are not satisfied with the generic MS in-box AHCI driver.
Don't forget to import the Certificate (it is within all my mod+signed driverpacks), before you start with the installation.
Procedure: Right-click onto the "Standard SATA AHCI Controller", choose the options "Update driver" > "Browse my computer...", browse to the driverfolder and click onto the "Next" button.
If you should get the message, that "the best driver is already running", repeat the procedure, but then choose the option "Let me pick...", hit the "Have Disk" button, navigate to the driver folder and double-click onto the file named "iaAHCIC.inf".

@Malaga94:
Indeed, your measured performance of the Intel RST(e) driver v13.2.8.1002 is horrible. With my system it runs the best.
It is a pity, that Intel hasn't developed any AHCI drivers for systems like yours.
What you may try to test are the mod+signed Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006 and v14.8.18.1066. Since you have already imported the Certificate, you can install them without any preparation.
To get the older v11.2.0.1006 driver installed, you have to force the installation by pressing the "Have Disk" button.
Good luck!

@KiLLz420:
Just for clarification: I have never modified any Intel RST Software and never touched any real Intel RST driver (= *.SYS file). Since both are the original ones, it is impossible, that any of my mod+signed drivers behaves different than the original one. All I have done is adding the missing HardwareIDs into the related text files with the extension *.INF or *.OEM.
So there must be another reason for your issue while running any of my mod+signed drivers.

@Malaga94:
AFAIK there is no way to boost the data transfer rate of the SATA ports from SATA2 (3GB/s) to SATA3 (6GB/s) by simply modifying the mainboard BIOS.
If the performance problems of your notebook cannot be solved by any of my mod+signed Intel AHCI drivers, you should contact the Intel or the Davon Support.
I am sorry, but I cannot help you.

@colthreepv:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Today I began to re-modify and re-sign all mod+signed Intel RST/RST(e) drivers, which I am offering within the start post. They will additionally support the DEV_31E3 GeminiLake Intel SATA AHCI Controller and all Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controllers of the latest Intel Chipsets (300-, 400, 495- and C600+-Series).
Tomorrow the download links to all these drivers will be available.
Regards
Dieter (alias Fernando)

@FM:
Just for your information.

@all:
Update of the Start Post:
Changelog:

• re-modded and freshly digitally signed:
  • all offered mod+signed 32/64bit Intel MSM/RST/RST(e) drivers
• added to all mod+signed drivers:
  • support of the currently latest Intel SATA AHCI and RAID Controllers
  • support of the GeminiLake specific Intel SATA AHCI Controller DEV_31E3
• removed:
  • mod+signed 32/64bit Intel RST(e) drivers v15.5.2.1054

@Ailurus:
You don't need any of the mod+signed drivers and can use the latest of the original Intel RST drivers from the v17 platform.

Now I see the new modded drivers v15.9, thank you - but you did remove 16.x and 17.x or am I just blind?
