Thanks very much Fernando for pointing me in the right direction.

I have just done as your guide suggests and have got a performance boost from it.

Thanks again Fernando.

I'm assuming that if I want pure performance, I should disable "link power management", right?

I have not missed your question, but you obviously have missed reading. The answer to your question is >here<.

I have a problem. I explained it here: https://communities.intel.com/message/273518
Can somebody help me?

1. Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (it's the only one ata/atapi controller listed)
2. Where is no such program listed. That's one of the problems I have. And after buggy installation of drivers from this thread (13.5) it's not even working.

I have (from dxdiag)

     Name: Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller
Device ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C02&SUBSYS_B0051458&REV_04\3&11583659&0&FA
   Driver: G:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\iaStorA.sys, 12.00.0000.1082 (English), 1/31/2013 14:20:10, 652784 bytes
 

The reason I decided to update in the first place is because trimcheck said that trim is not working on my drives. But after the update it kept stalling my crucial m500 ssd with 100% activity (could be related to buggy power save/state/lpm features) so I used fallback to previous drivers (also, the rst program still was the old version). After that I downloaded latest driver from mobo's support page and tried to install it (it came with installer). It failed at first. But at the same time it switched my driver version from working but "trimless" 12 to 13.5 from this thread I installed before with no option to revert. So I had to restore from backup but after that tsy ui is not working too (it is in tray but it never opens, just creates "parasite" processes).

Thank you for this page.

Sorry, my english is very very bad. I do not know which is the right one for my P8P67 motherboard.

Is the current 12.9.4.100 for my board?

THX

Is it better to uninstall the old RST before, when how best? I have a new SSD (M550) in the computer and Windows 7 64 Bit reinstalled. I have only the chipset driver 9.4.0.1027 installed and then the RST 12.9.0.1001 & Software. Does it make sense to update 12.9.0.1001?

@ flashmozzg:

Thanks for your answers.
Unfortunately you haven't mentioned anywhere the OS you are running.

If it should be Win7 or up, please do the following:
1. Right click onto the Intel SATA AHCI Controller, which is listed within the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section of the Device Manager.
2. Choose "Update Driver Software" > "Browse my Computer..." > "Let me pick..." and check the option "Show compatible Devices".
3. If you see a device named "Standard AHCI Controller" or "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller", choose it, click "OK" and reboot.
4. After the reboot your Intel SATA AHCI Controller will not use anymore any Intel RST driver, but the generic MS AHCI driver.

Please give us a feedback.
