Hi Fernando,

thank you very much for the drivers. Just installed the 4.x drivers on Supermicro X9DR3-F running Server 2012 R2. I'm experiencing BSODs now, was running 3.7 before without problems, but also without Trim in Raid 1 ;)

Regards
Benny

Thanks for this Fernando, but for now i will stick with the 13.1 branches driveronly cause it's still newer than the 13.0.4.1000 driver and i have better benchmark since i move to 13.1.0.1058 driver.

Ghostearth.

HI Fernando,

I just get known the problem of lastest RST do not support the ICH8R anymore after buying a SSD as the C drive. I am currently using Gigabyte 965p-ds3p with ICH8R and stuck in the problem.

1. Is there any modded v13.1.0.1058 WHQL as I cannot update it with the original Intel version?
2. If there is no modded WHQL or other method, I am not so sure which is better that I use back the latest RST(software and drivers) for ICH8R provided by intel or the modded v13.1.0.1058 driver without the RST software for the SSD?

any clue? Thanks anyway~

If I were you, I would install the "Universally modified " Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006, which you can download from >here<.
If you want to run your SSD in AHCI mode, you should just install the 32/64bit driver and not the complete Intel RST Drivers & Software Set (the RST software is useless for AHCI users, but may drop the system drive performance.

Intel Raid Rom (Orom/SataDriver) Version 13.2.0.2134 @ Station-drivers.com :)

Hi Fernando,
i just bought an x79 ASUS Rampage IV Extreme (latest bios 4901) with 32GB Kingston 2400RAM, that i want to use with 2x samsung 840 evo 256GB in raid0 setup and uefi install of win 8.1x64 (CSM disabled). I have seen here that there are alot of modded BIOS files out there, with this one on ROG forums being praised the most: HERE
I see that this particular modded BIOS uses latest Intel EFI RAID ROM module 13.2.0.2134. On your OP i saw that the 13.x.x.xxxx series of drivers are not to be used with RAID on x79, and that the best drivers for that are the Intel RSTe drivers v4.x and v3.x series for X79.
I have been reading ROG forum and the posts on this forum too, but the more i read the more it seems confusing, cause there is alot of missleading and contradictory information out there. From your posts i figured that you were the right pearson to ask two simple questions:
If i want to use the described system in raid0 with trim, gpt, csm disabled, writeback cacheing, etc (and i'm also one of these guys that like the latest version of everything, but it's not mandatory if there is an good explanation why not)... what is the best RAID driver/version for this setup?
Is it safe to just flash that BIOS from ROG forums with Intel EFI RAID ROM module 13.2.0.2134, and what could be the drawbacks compared to latest drivers v4.x for x79 board which you recommend for this type of boards?
Many thanks in advance for your time and effort.
Best regards.

Hello, I have found you forum using the Google. I have bought a new PC with Asus H97-Pro MB, one 128GB SSD and one classic 1TB HDD. After I installed Windows, I went through the classic process of installing drivers. But after that I found out Windows Update was not running. After checking on web I found out Intel Rapid Storage driver may be the culprit. So I uninstalled it and it started to work and I downloaded all recommended updates. Is the Intel Driver nescessary? Shall I download and try the latest from the web or shall I leave it as it is using the standrad AHCI driver from MS? Please let me know. Thanks.
