Can you see the existing RAID array in the Maintenance tab or is everything disabled?

Hey Fern; I love what you've done. I was just stopping to tell you about the 12.7 rom, but you beat me.

Now I just need some time to read all your posts.

ASrock Z170 Extreme 7+, Z97, with a 4790. My RAID is somewhat faster using the 13 series SataDriver and driver then the 13 or 12 on the X79.
Cooler Master Stacker 830, Asrock Extreme 7, I7 3820, H100 cooler, GTX 670, Seasonic Platinum-860, 2-Samsung 840, 2- vector 180, 2-vector 150 2- Vectors, 2-Vertex 4, 1-Vertex 460, 4 Vertex 3.
Always have 2-RAID RST, Marvel RAID on 9182.

recently I have iastor.sys bsod under heavy read/write operation. I was using IRSTe 14.8.18.1066 driver.

I just checked that my motherboard has 13.2.0.2134 raid driver in BIOS, so I am trying to install 13.2.8.1002 but it always fails to install.

which driver should I use?

Hi,
I am considering upgrading my Win 7 64 bit to Win 10 on a X58 Express / Intel ICH10R platform. Gigabyte X58A-UD3R.
Doing a lot of research on the topic. This site and these forums are a goldmine, thank you.

Somehow upgrading to W10 seems so futile and non future-proof. Even if I should get the installation to complete, manually install the "as compatible as possible" drivers, manage to establish a stable system - the next W10 update could, worst case, brick my system. Is this correct and if so, a true concern?

Am I right in that W10 updates could continually replace my custom installed drivers when an update is released? I am reading about this in regards to Intel RST, with non-functional systems as a result.
Is there a way to never allow Windows to update hardware driver files?

@Fernando
Thanks for your welcome and reply.
I will migrate current OS WIn 7 to larger SSD, upgrade to use my current Win 7 license key. Might do a clean install after that.
I don't intend to use RAID. As a AHCI user, I shouldn't have to customize the Win 10 image, correct?

Hallo, Fernando!

I have a very simple set made up of 8700k, MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon mainboard and one single M.2 connected Adata XPG SX8200 Pro NVMe SSD. The installed OS is Windows 10 1909.
Hardware Ids:
SATA AHCI controller VEN_8086 DEV DEV_A282,
NVM Express Controller VEN_1CC1 DEV_8201
Both drivers are Microsoft generic and have version 10.0.18362.1

I successfully installed the "pure" Intel 17.7.0.1006 drivers for AHCI and see no reason to upgrade NVMe drivers.

1) Was it a good idea to update AHCI drivers if there is only one single M.2 connected NVMe SSD? Or should I have left the Microsoft generic ones?
2) Would it be useful and possible to disable in BIOS the SATA controller in my case?
3) iaAHCIC.inf installs not only iaStorAC.sys but also RSTMwEventLogMsg.dll and RstMwService.exe drivers. What are they for?

Thanks in advance!

Hello: Can someone pls give me the quick lowdown for which drivers and sata ports I should be using on the old p6x58d-e (x58) for my Samsung drives. I've tried the newest marvel drivers but as noted in this thread they don't seem to be compatible with trim. Should I just stick to the intel ports, and if so what is the best driver for them atm? Samsung magician just doesn't seem to recognize anything on the marvel ports for optimization and trim purposes. Thanks
