@monta990:
I have seen the new driver at Station-Drivers, but cannot download it (unsecure connection).
Can you download and attach the package?

EDIT: Not needed anymore. I just got the package from high1 (big thanks to him!).

Welcome to the WinRAID Forum!

You can find the Intel most important RAID ROM modules >here< and the Intel RAID EFI BIOS modules >here<.

how do I install "Best matching Intel RAID ROM/EFI BIOS modules: v13.1.0.2126"

should I install the module before the driver, and would it be best practice to do this on a fresh install?

I've previously used UBU and have the updated MMTool.exe, running the software now I see the "13.1.0.2126" RAID ROM, is it correct to state that I don't need to use the downloaded file, and can simply flash the new settings I've selected?

@Ricks:
The version number does not always indicate the date of a driver, which can be read by opening the associated INF files.
If you want to know the latest drivers from within the various platforms (e.g. v13, v14 etc.) and development branches (e.g. v14.6, v14.8 etc.), please look into the start post of this thread.

@Dromadus:
The latest Intel RST AHCI/RAID driver for your Intel 8-Series Chipset is v14.8.16.1063 WHQL, but the Win10 in-box MS AHCI driver is very good as well.
If I were you, I would do a clean install of the upcoming Win10 v1803 without integrating any third party drivers. Once the OS is up and you should be unsatisfied with a certain driver, you can test other compatible drivers, which are offered by the manufacturer of the related device, but are able to return to the stock driver at any time.

@Dromadus:
The latest Win10 in-box generic MS AHCI driver is much better than the early Win7/8/10 in-box ones. Furthermore it makes a big difference, if you change just the driver (done manually from within the Device Manager) or change the complete Intel RST Drivers & Software Set.
That is why I recommend the first option for AHCI users.
I personally prefer to do a clean install of the OS (without integrating any drivers or hotfixes). Once the OS is up and running, I can optimize my system according to my preferences and can compare different storage drivers without getting much garbage installed.
