So I just upgraded to a X99 system from a X58 and have all the latest drivers installed. Windows installed my sata/raid controller driver and afterwards I installed the latest RST driver from intels website.

Heres where things get strange for me. I was doing a test of my Samsung 850 Pro on AS SSD and saw in the top left corner that it was using the iaStorB driver.

I have 2 WD Raptors in Raid 0 that are about 4 years old and they are using the iaStorA.sys driver.
ASUS X99 Pro USB 3.1
i7 5930k

Just to note, I have done a lot of Windows 10 Re-installs on this pc and I think last time I reinstalled, I had a Iastorf filter driver and a iastora driver on the non raid controller. I would like to know what will net me the best results when considering speed of the system.

Are my drives/system/controllers using the correct drivers for my system?

Thanks!

This is the correct driver for the Intel sSATA AHCI Controller.
Contrary to other Intel Chipset systems the X99 ones are controlling the on-board SATA ports by 2 different and independently working SATA Cotrollers.

Although I don't know much about the usage of X99 Chipset systems, I think, that your current Intel SATA configuration and the in-use Intel AHCI and RAID drivers are ok.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
