@FM:
You are absolutely right and I was wrong regarding the statement, that I have never offered within the start post of this thread mod+signed Intel AHCI/RAID drivers, which belong to the RST v16 or v17 platform - my bad! My old brain didn't remember your linked post #1095.
Since I haven't removed the related links on 17th of January, when I have updated the start post for the last time, I must have done it in August 2019, when I updated the start post before.

@all:
If there should be a strong demand for mod+signed v16 and v17 platform Intel RST drivers, I may be willing to offer universally usable variants of the currently latest versions.

@petterkkk:
Since your Intel Z390 chipset mainboard is natively supported by the latest Intel RST AHCI/RAID drivers, it wouldn't make any sense to use a mod+signed variant of them.

working fine, but no "legacy" interface (CTRL+I) with or without CSM enabled. Guess its gone..

• In Device Manager it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/ID4prk3.png (Intel 6 Series/C200) but it says this next to the USB, not SATA?

• From reading, it is my understanding this is the best selection for my board? Modded or WHQL (64bit Intel RST AHCI+RAID driver v11.2.0.1006)

My performance tests with an Intel 9-Series chipset system were done in November 2018. At that time the Intel RST drivers v16.7.9.1027 were the currently latest. Since there are meanwhile newer RST drivers available, which belong to the v16 platform, I don't have the mod+signed v16.7.9.1027 drivers anymore.
Nevertheless you can test the performance of the requested Intel RST AHCI driver v16.7.9.1027 by doing the following:
1. Set a "Restore Point" (just for an emergency case).
2. Download the attached 64bit Intel RST drivers v16.7.9.1027 WHQL and unzip them into a separate folder.
3. Run the Device Manager and expand the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section.
4. Update the driver of the listed Intel AHCI Controller. You have to force the installation by using the "Have Disk" option.
5. Mark the iaAHCIC.inf file and choose any of the listed Intel SATA AHCI Controllers (e.g. "Intel(R) 100 Series/C230 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller").
6. Disregard the compatibility warning you may get.
7. After the next reboot your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller will use the desired driver.

Please give us a feedback after having tested the requested driver.
Good luck!

Have you ever tried to solve the hotplug problem by using the tool "HotSwap!"? >Here< is the link.

EDIT: Why there are no modded v16 drivers?

Hotplug with the driver posted by @Fernando is working well.

@izajasz:
Thanks for your report.
Usually the latest are the best among all drivers of a certain Intel RST development branch.
The latest drivers of the v16.7 development branch are the v16.7.10.1030 ones dated 07/15/2019, the latest of the v16 platform are the v16.8.3.1003 ones. I think, that you should test them both as well. You can find the download links within the start post of >this< thread.
