Obviously the Intel RAID OROM v17.8.0.4414 is not yet available. Otherwise Pacman would have posted it into >this< thread.
By the way: The "Legacy mode" Option ROMs will not be used by the big majority of users with a modern Intel chipset system. Anyway I expect, that Intel will stop the development of such outdated sort of BIOS modules in the near future.

Thanks for your kind reply.
I just wanna update the modules inbios to match versions. But u are right, some modules are obsolete!!!

I just wanna update the modules inbios to match versions.

As long as no Intel v17.8 series RST drivers are available, it doesn't make much sense to update the Intel RAID BIOS modules to a version of the v17.8 development branch.
The Intel RST drivers are regarding the BIOS RAID modules backwards compatible, but you may run into a problem, if the in-use RAID driver belongs to a lower development branch than the related Intel RAID BIOS module.

They should be offering the new 17.8 drivers soon...

Hello Fernando, as usual i've integrated latest Intel RST RaidDriver V.17.8.0.4434 into ASRock Z170 OC Formula and they work.

Cheers,

@killkernel:
What do you mean with "they work" and how did you realize it, that they work?
Do you have an Intel RAID array within your system at all? Only users of such configuration can evaluate the function and the advantages/disadvantages of a specific BIOS RAID module.
By the way - an update of a certain BIOS module is only useful, if the newer BIOS module works better (in combnation with a certain Intel RAID driver) than the previous one.

Hi Fernando, as you said, I have a RAID 0 of 2 x Samsung 840 Pro of 256GB managed by the Intel controller of my ASRock Z170 OC formula, but let's move to the numbers provided by Anvil's Storage test in screenshots:

BIOS 7.60 - OROM V.17.5.3.4203

BIOS 7.60 - OROM V.17.8.0.4434

BIOS 7.60 - OROM V.17.8.0.4460

The BIOS settings are the same (CPU OC, RAM frequency, voltages and optimizations) as well as the installed IRST driver, so the performance difference comes exclusively from the different OROM.
I'll wait the release of the IRST V.17.8 driver and i'll do again the Anvil's Storage test to see if the new driver version paired with same OROM branch produce slightly better results.

EDIT of 14/01/2020:

Installed newest IRST V.17.8.0.1065 and executed Anvil's Storage test

Cheers,

KK

Hello guys, as expected (because it is a minor internal build update) this OROM V.17.8.0.4460 is working when injected into Z170 motherboard's BIOS.
At same exact conditions i've tested with Anvil's Storage test my RAID 0 of Samsung 840 Pro and i've updated with results the post #790.
Within some days i'll substitute the two Samsung 840 Pro with two Samsung PM961 and i'll test again the configuration.

Cheers,

KK

Installed newest IRST V.17.8.0.1065 and executed Anvil's Storage test:

As theoretically Intel suggests, pairing OROM and IRST development branch version produces the best performances and this is the case!

For major completeness i've updated the post #790.

Cheers,

KK

@killkernel:
Thanks for doing your benchmark comparison tests and publishing their results.
I am surprised, that you were able to get the Intel RST RAID driver v17.8.0.1065 installed without any problem. Did you force the installation? According to the related INF file the internal DeviceID of the Intel 100-Series Chipset RAID Controller is not supported by the v17.8 series driver.
