@Fernando RSTe (1.post)- the driver information for 5.3* and 5.4* tree is a little bit mixed up.

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #1
Latest available Intel RSTe Storage drivers from the v5.3 branch:
........
Notes: The package is dated 12/08/2017 and contains the Intel RSTe SATA AHCI and SATA/sSATA RAID drivers v5.4.0.1462 dated 02/28/2018. ....

Latest available Intel RSTe Storage drivers from the v5.4 branch:
......
Notes: The package is dated 03/27/2018 and contains the Intel RSTe SATA AHCI and SATA/sSATA RAID drivers v5.3.1.1020dated 12/05/2017. ......

(Installed RSTe 5.4 on C222 (LGA1150) with ROM 4.6, Server 2016 essentials, RSTe Raid1 with 2 6TB disks. 5.4.* drivers loaded fine but application doesn't start ("Failed to load Storage Data from Driver"), updated from 5.3.1.1020 which worked fine.)

there is a typo in the first post.
it should read intel drivers v16.0.2.1086 not 1068

just an issue to mention...

Background:
I use two M.2 Samsung 960 Evo in Raid0 as Boot-Device.
Clean install of Win10 does not work, because Raid0-Array is not recognized (buildin drivers doesn't work).
On-the-fly driver install from Stick leads to a non responding installer.
So I create allways a boot.wim and install.wim with newest drivers preintegrated.

Issue:
after integrating newest "64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers v16.3.0.1007 (digitally signed by Intel)", installation succeeds, but after install while normal booting I get a BSOD, with message that there are problems with missing certificate.

Solution:
Installing with preintegrated "64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers v16.0.2.1086 WHQL" works, Windows starts fine.

Specs: ASROCK Z270 Taichi, Intel i7-7700K, 64GB Kingston HyperX DDR4-2666 1.20V, 2x 1TB Samsung 970 Evo (Raid0 - Boot), 2x 1TB Samsung 860 Evo (Raid0 - Data), 5TB 2.5" Baracuda HDD, LG BH16NS40, Sapphire RX580 8GB Nitro+, Win10 1803 Pro for Workstations

@Wishbringer:
Thanks for having mentioned the importance of the storage driver's WHQL stamp while going to install any modern Windows OS.

Each WHQL certified Intel RST(e) RAID driver from v14.8 series up would have worked as well.
The OS Setup only accepts storage drivers, which have the WHQL stamp, whereas the update to any other digitally signed driver later on is no problem.

Please advise me.
Currently I am using version Intel RST 13.6.3.1001.
My system:
Motherboard - Asus x79 Delux
SSD Samsung 840 Pro 256 Mb - System disk install Windows 7 x64
1.HDD Western Digital VelociRaptor 1Tb - Raid 0
2.HDD Western Digital VelociRaptor 1Tb - Raid 0
Intel SATA mode BIOS - Raid

On the front page stated: C. Intel RSTe drivers v3.x/v4.x/v5.x and their RSTe Software (only for C600/C600+/C220 Series Chipsets like X79, X99 or X299)
(Note: These real "Enterprise Edition" RST Drivers contain an additional SCSI Filter Driver like the RST(e) ones, but are just designed for Socket LGA 2011/2011-3 systems running in RSTe mode.)

Question: Is there any sense in moving from IRST to IRST (e)?
And if yes, which version to go? v3.8.... v5.4 ?

Thanks.

Not really. You will get the best RAID0 performance, if you use the RST mode.
Additional questions:
1. Why are you using the Intel RST(e) RAID driver v13.6.3.1001?
2. Which Intel RAID Option ROM/EFI RaidDriver version are you currently using?

1. I tested these versions from 13.1 to 14.8 .... the best performance in version 13.6.3.1001
2. Sorry, but I do not understand what you mean. Means, in what mode is loaded windows - EFI or Legacy ?
This is it?

My settings are correct or not?

No, I just wanted to know the version of your Intel RAID Utility (you get it by hitting CTRL+I while booting).

I found..... Intel RST 12.7.0.1936
Perhaps I also need to install this version of the RST - 12.7.0.1936 ??

For users like you I have started >this< thread some years ago.
Look into the table, which is at the bottom of the start thread. If you want to use the best performant Intel RAID driver v11.2.0.1006, you will have to do a fresh OS installation by using a Windows image, where the generic in-box Intel RAID driver has been removed and the demanded one inserted. >Here< is the related guide.
Very important: For the best results the BIOS should contain an Intel RAID ROM module, which belongs to the same development branch (e.g. v13.1) as the Intel RAID driver you want to use. The update of the Intel RAID ROM can easily be done by using the UBU tool.
