The more I am reading, I think you are correct.
It would seem that there is no SRT support for the RSTe controllers on x79 / c600 chipsets.
That stinks :(

My board also has an LSI controller, but I dont think it has any kind of caching option.

So it SEEMS to be possible, just give it a try. :-)
(The OEM may have locked this option or it is available only on addin cards and not onboard, etc. ...)

EDIT: It seems this feature is called "CacheCade" on LSI controllers ...
EDIT2: ... and it seems you have to pay money for this feature ... :-(
(I searched for it and found prices ranging from 200 to 300 Euros per license)

Doesn't your mainboard BIOS offer the option to switch from RSTe to RST mode?
If yes, you will be able to use any Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set from the v12 or v13 platform, but maybe you have to do a fresh install of the OS.

Interestingly, it seems the OROM for RST is present in the bios image, although I'm not sure how I would go about using it over the RSTe:

Now that I look at it closer, there is no EFI RST listed there, so it probably only shows up while in legacy and not UEFI mode. Something else I will need to address...

Thanks again, this forum is awesome!

@all X99 chipset users:
Please give me your feedback regarding the Intel RST(e) drivers v14.8.14.1061.
If the previously offered v14.8.12.1059 drivers really should be better, I will replace them or restore the links to these drivers.

Don't know why but as long as I update from standard AHCI controller driver to latest intel AHCI/Raid drivers, my pc start and shut down time increases to like 45sec extra. I just switch back to standard win8 drivers. what a mess is INTEL....

Is rampage iv gene x79 board and If I'm not mistaken is C600 series chipset.
link of drivers that I usedd........https://mega.nz/#!FENFTLab!FfQbwAY7YV2YW...UQbLIIyfuENCyjs
