If you want to have a matching RAID driver/OROM combo, you should either update the Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver BIOS modules to v13.2.0.2134 or "downgrade" the Intel RST RAID driver to v13.1.0.1058 WHQL

---

Done; I try to comply with your matching RAID driver/OROM combo (it just works best in my experience) and because I cannot upgrade the OROM at this time I "downgraded" to the 13.1.0.1058 WHQL many; thanks again Fernando

@ all users with an X79/X99 Chipset system:

According to >this< via Google translated article Intel has secretly removed the Intel RSTe drivers v4.1.0.1046/1047 from their Downöoad Center because of the following severe bugs:
1. no TRIM in RAID0 support with these drivers and
2. only limited usage of the X99 chipset SATA3 ports.

The F6 RSt v13.1.0.1058 WHQL drivers on the Rampage V Extreme result in the BIOS losing the RAID configuration completely so that only the DVD is visible as a boot option on warm reboot almost everytime-BIOS 0901 OROM 13.10.2126. Quite a number of people are reporting this issue to ASUS. I updated to F6 RSt v13.2.4.1000 WHQL to try it and the problem disappeared-performance in gaming and everyday tasks is very good (I don't benchmark). I am considering trying the F6 RSt v13.5.0.1056 WHQL drivers just to see....
As a side note, all those RST(e) drivers that did not support trim on x79 in RAID now do with the x99 chipset. So, trim compatability is no longer a concern or factor in the driver choice for Haswell-E.

What I need from you (or any other RAID user with an Intel X99 Chipset mainboard) is the "alternate" DeviceID of the on-board Intel X99 Chipset SATA RAID Controller.

---

Let me know if there is anything else.......

Controller ID 2822
Alternate ID 8D06

The only exception may be the Intel RSTe drivers v4.1.0.1046, which obviously have been pulled by Intel.

---

I think Intel is done with the underperforming "Enterprise" drivers for desktop boards. What good is anything that does not support trim in RAID; even in the enterprise. Intel releases the x99 and then hamstrings the chipset because they did not have their s**t together-profit before proper R&D and testing (aka v4.1.0.1046)

I would rather like to check that by opening the related iaStorA.sys files with an Hex Editor.

I downloaded the drivers from your first page this thread.

I have been running the F6 RSt v13.2.4.1000 WHQL for 5 days now and have not lost my RAID in the BIOS at all under any condition; I know this is not a long enough period-or tested by enough owners- for ASUS to publish it as a fix, but, my system would've acted up by now many times using the F6 RSt v13.1.0.1058 WHQL drivers.

I know what you're saying, does not make sense. I just tried it because Chino and the gurus at ASUS are unable to pinpoint the problem at present, so, for want of anything else, I just tried it-nothing to lose...ya' know....
Whether or not updating the driver, or the system just decided to stop doing it, is anybody's guess really. The fact my system is not doing it anymore with just the driver update and nothing else changed......
Just as another mind tease, when the x79 was still going through the bug stage-new-using any of the published BIOS-I could enter safe mode, but, if I tried to do anything at all-and I mean anything, right clck the desktop for instance, BSOD immediately. The fix for me was to install the latest Intel Management Engine Interface from Station Drivers compatable with the C600 at the time. No idea updating this-the firmware was already at the latest from a previous update-would do anything. A couple of days or so after updating the MEI i went into safe mode to spend some time trying to analize and troubleshoot the BSOD, but, it never happened again with that present BIOS or any future flashes-no other changes at all other than the MEI update. Go figure.......no rhyme or reason, but, as is the case now, I'm not going to question it LOL, just enjoy the result. :)

there seems to be a revisioned RSTe driver of 4 series:

it seems to give some performance improvements according to:

Hi guys, Im new here and Im not sure which version of RST is better for me.
The BIOS driver is v.12.7.0.1936 so if I understand correctly the best version should be ex:12.9.9.9999?

I have a Dell XPS 2720 AIO, it has H87 chipset, a 2TB hdd and a 32GB ssd, so I enabled caching in RST.
I want to update the drier and RST because once in a few days I get a freeze and in Event Viewer says Event ID 129 – storachi - Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.
Thank you for your quick response and Happy Holidays!
