Hi , i guess nobody is seeing the other thread so I will ask here about the Best Driver for my Asus X99A-II MB with EFI RAID BIOS module v14.8.0.2397 and Win10.

Unfortunately nothing has changed for me in regards to the WD 640GB Hard Drives in Raid being seen as SSD's but I recently discovered that the 12.9.4.1000 Drivers crash in Win10 on Long, multi GB File transfers , causing the Computer to Crash.

Most recently a 106GB transfer caused the crash so I am using the Best Drivers as suggest for the X99 platform, which are RST(e) Driver 14.8.16.1063. This Driver when installed however, also changes the Driver for the Secondary controller to a C200+/C600, which causes the RST Software to lock up and you can't open it off the taskbar or elsewhere. Changing the Secondary Controller back to a Standard AHCI Controller and rebooting, fixed both these issues and the 106GB transferred fine.

However it appears I am wrong about 14.8.16.1063 , transferring 103 GB from Disk to Disk went ok ...just lucky?
Tonight I was transferring about 100GB from my old computer (X58A) to the new one (X99) , it lasted about 3-4 mins and the X99 computer crashed again , so now I am getting worried I will damaged the Raid Array.

Perhaps I will try transferring smaller amount in one operation and see if it helps.....if anyone has any other ideas please let me know , Thanks.

What would be the best for a Z270 system Intel/RST driver for AHCI with a M2 Samsung 960 pro ssd.My motherboard is a Asus Z270 Maximus Apex.

Hello
I don´t know what more i can do :(

System - P5Q Deluxe P45 ICH10R
Q9550
Transcend 128GB SSD370 SSD 2.5" SATA III

Always used windows 7. Everything worked flawlessly through the years.
Few weeks ago installed windows 10 because of some software im not able to use anymore on w7
First, the ssd appears as removable drive so i figured something was wrong about the driver / controller. Then i started to get BSODs about some 'PAGE FAULT NON PAGED AREA', games consuming 100% HDD while in use, freezing, crashing etc.
Tried to find it in the intel website but none of the software i downloaded was able to be installed.

After that m i tried your driver packages :
Modded+signed Intel RST drivers v11.2.0.1006 (dated 05/30/2012, re-modded and signed at 07/26/2017) - Error installing, intallation aborts. If i install manually drivers only, problem persists.
Modded+signed Intel MSM Drivers v8.9.8.1005 (dated 04/05/2010, freshly digitally signed at 10/26/2015, latest Intel MSM drivers): can be installed, when launching the RST software error found and cant detect any able drive. Manual install says drivers are out of date.
>64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers v11.7.4.1001 WHQL< (>MIRROR<) - catastrophic failure, so many BSODS had to full wipe and reinstall windows

After clean instalation, the drive works good and when the PC doesnt crash, the Speeds from benchmark are the ones i had on previous Windows 7, confirming the drive is working at full speed and the problem is not bios related
Current drivers after w10 instalation showed in Device manager (and the ones that crash less) are 10.0.15063.332 , 21/06/2006

Thanks in advance.

1. Is your on-board Intel ICH10R SATA Controller running in AHCI or in RAID mode?
2. Which OS with which architecture (32/64bit) are you currently running?
3. What was your reason to try the modded+signed Intel RST drivers v11.2.0.1006 and MSM drivers v11.7.4.1001? Both choices don't make sense for me.
4. Did you install the "pure" Intel MSM/RST drivers or the related Drivers & Software Sets? If it was the latter, did you uninstall the MSM/RST Software before you installed another driver?

---

so, you are saying that the original windows 10 driver is the best to use?
Iseen the table and i already tried the driver which i'm supposed to use (1.17.xx , and it doesnt work)
i did use the w10 original driver and it worked for some days. Without upgrading it nor any other driver, i started getting 100% disk usage, that was when i started to try the other drivers.

EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded fully quoted post and unneeded blank lines removed (to save space)

I meant 11.7 instead of 1.17

i came here
Intel RST/RSTe Drivers (newest: v15.7.3.1019 /v5.1.0.1098 WHQL)
Downloaded the >Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers & Software Set v11.7.4.1001 WHQL< (>MIRROR<)
When installing, at the end of the installation says something like 'error, the instalation can not be finished'
Then i used this manual driver
>64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers v11.7.4.1001 WHQL< (>MIRROR<)
went to my pc, device manager, ide/ahci drivers, controller, update controller manually, chose the folder.
Istallation successful, reboot, problem persists.

Thanks

edit: checked the windows resource monitoring to see if it was lack of ram causing the ssd usage, never goes above 70%
Either way, downloaded memtest, booted from usb and 0 errors found after 2 iterations, so its not a memory problem

SSD HEALTH:

Hello
Firstly, thanks for cleaning up my topic
Secondly, my windows 10 instalation was 1 week old, so i don´t think there was any problem with it.

I did reinstall the windows 10, installed the 11.7 driver, couldnt install by the setup.exe, same error at the end of the instalation. I did install, once again, manualy, the drivers. Didnt experience any blue screen ever since but im still getting the 100% on one specific game. The blue screens explanation could be the conflict with the drivers / software due to the multiple instalations i tried.

CrystalDiskMark is giving me very good results all round, the computer performance is great and, even tho i cant install the RST software, im beggining to think this not driver related but software related, namely the specific game im talking about.
Im going to install 3dmark and run some tests to check if it is isolated.

Thanks a lot for the help. Ill post any update.

But it really happened.
Either way, i still dont know what driver should i install on windows 10, from what i understanded in your topics, the 'only' and recomendable driver was that one i put on link...
Maybe i couldnt install because i have selected AHCI instead of RAID in the bios configs. I think that one invalidates the other.
