Do you recommend turning it off, Fernando? I saw this topic of yours but it mentions Intel RAID0 users but i think it applies to the general SSD users if i stay correct, just making sure since i have that feature enabled

Hi,

I've an Asus Z97 Deluxe MB with Win10 x64. I've 1piece system SSD and 9 piece data storage HDDs. All of them in AHCI, not RAID. I would like that the data storage hdds spin down after the ASPM settings (I set it to 20 min)
But the data storage HDDs on the Intel SATA ports always spin up after spindown.. However the data storage hdds on the Asmedia ports works well, spindown after 20 mins passive operation and not spinup automatically..

The installed Sata AHCI drivers: Intel: v14.6.0.1029, Asmedia: v3.1.6.0

Maybe this is a known Intel driver problem?? Is there a solution please with a fast and stable Intel driver??

p.s.: I gone back to the original win10 standard SATA AHCI driver, and everything works good, but the read/write speeds are very weak....

Thanx,
Batka

How can I find out which is the latest driver that natively supports the ICH7-M controller in a Dell D620 laptop?

The 11.2.0.1006 driver I use at my desktop (with an ICH10-R) (also) supports an ICH7-M, but only the 27C5 model. Unfortunately, the Dell has a 27C4... (running 9.1.9.1005 after an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10)

Verified the memory and IME. Found no problems. Measured voltage output of PSU, no problems either. After a while I just decided to redistribute the drives over more power cables, and suddenly it works fine... 650W modular corsair PSU. Oh well.

@ XIII:
Your dell D620 laptop is obviously running in IDE mode. DEV_27C4 is the DeviceID of the Intel ICH7M Seral ATA IDE Controller.

Oops. I meant SATA mode AHCI…

(On my desktop I can switch between IDE/AHCI/RAID)

From ASROCK Marvell Sata3 Driver ver.1.2.0.1071 for Windows10

Is it true or not?

Please check the HardwareIDs of your ASMedia 106x SATA Controller. (right click onto it > "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs").

Two ASMedia controllers and both have the following "HardwareIDs":

PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_0612&SUBSYS_84B71043&REV_01
PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_0612&SUBSYS_84B71043
PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_0612&CC_010601
PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_0612&CC_0106

Today the ASMedia controller for the internal ports disconnected the 2 disks attached with the event errors (Disk 5 has been surprise removed) & (Disk 6 has been surprise removed) and now I am trying a mix of the Microsoft STORHCI.SYS for the internal ASMedia ports and ASSTOR64.SYS for the ASMedia eSATA.

Is this a problem with RAID? Asus put up these driver today. The driver version is the same but it include some other stuff. Did you try the v3.0.2.0 drivers? I have been using it since Win10 launched. I haven't notice those error you encounter plus you get the option to disable the drives as removable, that option is missing in v3.1.6. I don't think I should test these new drivers. It seems like I'm asking for trouble. I don't know much performance improvements these new drivers bring but the old ones are stable.
