Wondering if, in future, you might make these a link directly to the entries on the 1st page? (Can you do that?)

@Fernando - I loaded iaAHCIC.inf from 64bit Intel RSTe AHCI & RAID drivers v15.9.0.1015, but when I tried to run SetupRST.exe from Intel RSTe Drivers & Software Set v15.9.0.1015 it told me the platform was not supported.

Ok, so I am still confused as to what the *right* drivers and versions are :(

See I have a x99 board with a 5820k this also confuses me when something along the lines are stated.

(Recommended for Intel 7-Series Chipset Desktop systems and for X79/X99 Chipset systems)

So if I have a x99 board would this work with my 6 series?

I have been running this v14.8.16.1063 all along since I registered because of the statement made about it working with X99 boards so I was very confused and still am.

@fernando - Interesting - no issue installing the INF from Device Manager for the 1st set (v14), but when I did the 2nd set (v5) it moved the Controller from the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers section down to the Storage Controllers section. I haven't re-booted yet, but that's not going to try and force it to RAID, is it?

I want to confirm that all will be well before I reboot :)

The choice of the "right" drivers depends on the X99 chipset mainboard SATA port, where your HDDs/SSDs are connected.
A. HDDs/SSDs, which are connected to the SATA ports 1-6, can use all Intel AHCI/RAID drivers of the Intel RST v14 platform (currently latest: v14.8.16.1063).
B. For HDDs/SSDs, which are connected to the SATA ports 7-10, the appropriate Intel AHCI/RAID drivers are the RSTe v5 platform ones (currently latest: v5.3.0.1388)

Ok, you answered a question for me back in march of 2017 when I asked what would be the best driver again for my setup which is a asrock x99 board with a 5820k and you stated 6th generation would be well suited but isn't my processor a 5th gen not a 6th?

You can verify the HardwareIDs of your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller by doing a right-click onto it and choosing the options "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs".
AFAIK the DeviceID of your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller is DEV_9D03 and the name given by Intel is "Intel(R) 6th Generation Core Processor Family Platform I/O SATA AHCI Controller".

@jujubeans:
I don't know the processor model your specific mainboard has and it doesn't matter at all, when comes to the choice of the (best) matching Intel AHCI or RAID driver. The only important things are the DeviceIDs of your onboard Intel SATA Controllers and I am pretty sure, that they are identical for all X99 Chipset mainboards.
