I think, they are incompatible to Windows 10.

You are wrong. They are not only compatible with Win10, they are the best Intel RST drivers for systems with an older Intel Chipset running Win10.

Everyone of them slowed my system down a lot and caused blue screens.

This lets me think, that your problems are not Intel RST driver related.
Have you already checked your Intel Management Engine configuration (Firmware and driver)?

I use the driver with version 11.0.0.1157, but there was no firmware update for a long time... I have the most recent one for my mainboard which is ME v.8.1.10.1286.

@Fernando: No, I do not even know that tool... What does it do?

By the way, the last Windows 10 release Fall Creator Update automatically installed RSTe 5.2. Perhaps compatibility of older drivers has changed?

Look into the section C within the start post of >this< thread. Since this is absolutely off-topic, you should ask your Intel ME related questions there.

No, Win10 v1709 doesn't contain any Intel AHCI driver. Maybe it has been installed by the Windows Update.

Probably you are right. It just happened to be there after I had finished the upgrade to the new Windows version. The shutdown behaviour immediately gave away what happened at the next shutdown

I will check the other thread and see, if there can be done something. I already saw that there is a newer ME driver. Do you think the most current driver from the 5.x branch will not show the shutdown issue with the new ME driver or firmware? Or is it just the bluescreens with the older versions that should go away?

Sorry, if I start to reference ME in this thread too much.

You will know it after having done the Intel ME related actions.

I've downloaded v14.8.16.1063 just drivers (no software) for my X99/Windows 7 x64/AHCI only system.

After unpacking I can see two *.inf files:
- iaAHCIC.inf - installs RST AHCI Controller Miniport
- iaStorAC.inf - installs RST AHCI RAID Controller Miniport + RST Filter Driver

Should I "use" both or just one of them?
I think the second one (iaStorAC.inf) is only for systems using RAID mode so I do not need it, am I right?

Yes, all Intel RST(e)/RSTe drivers do support Intel SATA AHCI and Intel SATA RAID Controllers, but the installation procedure is different. If the SATA mode of the on-board Intel SATA Controller has been set to "AHCI", it is the file named iaAHCIC.inf, which manages the driver installation. The file named iaStorAC.inf will only be used, when the Intel SATA Controller is running in "RAID" mode.

Hi Fernando, maybe I missed something or why you have removed the original and modded Intel driver v13.6.3.1001 completle?
I'v searched back the Forum but couldn't find the answer, to many posts in this 2 threads...sorry

@wasisdn:
The original and modded Intel RST(e) drivers v13.6.3.1001 have been removed by me from the start post and from my MEGA and OneDrive account, because
a) there is not enough place for all Intel RST/RST(e) drivers within the start post and
b) there are newer and - according to my benchmark comparison tests - better drivers available, which belong to the v13 platform.
If there should be a demand for these special Intel RST(e) drivers, I will re-upload and link them somewhere.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I guess v 13.2.8.1002 is the latest and better driver from v13 platforms, so I can remove this also from my own backups.
I'm just confused about the size different from 13.6.3 to the other v13 drivers...

Thanks for your reply.
By the way: The latest and most interesting Intel RST driver from the v13 platform is the Win10 v1709 in-box RAID driver v13.44.0.1026 dated 02/22/2017.
According to my recent benchmark tests this new driver is very promising regarding its performance. That is why I have composed on the basis of this driver brandnew mod+signed "Universal 32/64bit Intel RST AHCI & RAID drivers v13.44.0.1026". You can find them since a few minutes >here<.

I would like to ask a question to Fernando, I have a 6 series chip would this driver 14.8.16.1063 work well with my samsung 850 evo 500gb non raid

This confuses me a bit as I have a 6 series 5820k.
(Only Intel Chipsets from 8-Series up (incl. X99) are supported by these new drivers)

8 series and up so does that mean that this driver would not be beneficial to my system? What driver would you recommend I should download for my system, and also could you please explain why would you recommend such driver for my system? I need to get a grasp of this so I apologize for my ignorance.

Gaming rig: Asrock x99 Extreme 4, 5820k, 980ti Waterforce, 1tb & 2x500gb Samsung SSD.
