For everyone's info, all my problems turned out to be because of a bad SATA cable. After I changed both SATA cables of my RAID 1 members, I don't have any more erros and the system is running fine. Initially I was misled and blamed the Intel drivers but it's not their fault.

I have an H77 chipset and am running RST 14.8.16.1063 on Windows Server 2012 R2. I have an SSD as my C Drive and 4x 4 TB HDDs in RAID 5 as my D Drive. I have an identical SSD for the C Drive. I'd like to run RAID1 but the lack of TRIM support historically has made this a non-starter.

I read the RSTe drivers and software now support R1 TRIM. I'm struggling to find which RSTe version I should download for H77 and Server 2012 R2. Intel's site for RSTe seems to point to Xeon based chipsets.

Any help would be appreciated!

Acccording to my knowledge it is not a good idea to install any Intel RST driver of the v14 or v15 platform onto on Intel 7-Series chipset system.
Only the RST "Enterprise Edition" (RSTe) drivers from the v4 and v5 platform do support TRIM in RAID1. These drivers natively support nothing else than C600 and C600+ Series Intel Chipsets like X79 and X99, whose Intel SATA RAID Controller has the DeviceID DEV_2826]. So the Intel SATA RAID Controller of your system will not be supported.

The latest Intel RST(e) drivers, which natively do fully support Intel 7-Series chipsets, are the v13.1.0.1058 ones. Nevertheless I would install the Intel RST(e) drivers v13.2.8.1002, which are the latest and according to my tests the best from the v13 platform.

What are the issues with v14 and v15 drivers and RST?

---

The related RAID drivers are installable (due to the universal extern DeviceID DEV_2822)], but are running neither absolutely stable nor performant with Intel 7-Series chipset systems.

Thank you, I just grabbed 13.2.8.1002 and will run with those. Thanks again!

Used 15.7.3 for 3 days now without issues, unlike the previous drivers from the 15.7 line.

Edit: Chipset is H110 with 3 drives (1SSD+2HDD) AHCI, no RAID, Windows 10 64bit.

Not sure what's going on for me seeing the Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set v15.7.3.1019 is meant to be WHQL set and signed. I have to create a restore point before installing them an every time I have to use that restore point to get my system working again. Any ideas?
