Then the Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers v13.6.2.1001 will just suffice to run RAID 0 on a X99 system chipset?

---

There are at least 2 options to get any Intel RST(e) RAID driver v13.x.x.xxxx installeed onto an X99 RAID system:
a) You set the Intel SATA RAID Controller to "RST" within the BIOS (this option requires to BIOS ability to switch the DeviceID from DEV_2826 to DEV_2822).
b) The other option is to install an Intel RST(e) RAID driver v13.x.x.xxxx, which has been modified by me. You can find them >here<. In this case you will use the original DeviceID (DEV_2826) of your on-board Intel SATA RAID Controller.

@ Safado;
This is the thread about original Intel RST/RSTe drivers, If you have questions about modded Intel RST/RSTe drivers, please post them >here<.
By the way: Why do you want to install a modded Intel RAID driver at all? Nearly all Intel RAID systems are natively supported by the original Intel RAID drivers.

If you see my previous post, you will see that YOU mentioned that I could use your modded RAID drives. TBH, I dont really trust you because you seem to not knowing what you are talking about.

are this drivers support notebooks ?

how to update the driver from device manager ?

Note: These drivers are dated 05/28/2014 (shown as being dated 05/02/2014) and WHQL certified. They are suitable for X79, X99 and all 7-9 Series Desktop Chipsets running in AHCI mode, in "RST" RAID mode (DEV_2822) they can be used from ICH8R/M up. X79/X99 chipsets are not supported, if runnig in "RSTe mode" (DEV_2826). Supported are only Operating Systems from Windows 7 and Server 2008 up.

If you don't trust me, why do you ask me for help?
You should better ask ASUS.

Hello I have a few questions, what means "Best matching Intel RAID ROM/EFI BIOS modules:", do I need to update UEFI BIOS for RST update?

Also I read in OP that RST software is not necessary, and I always like to keep my PC clean with the bare minimum software and services installed, but today I experienced an issue where my Hot Swap HDD wouldn't be recognized right away until I reboot the system. I read here that it's solved by installing the RST software, can you confirm me on this?

I'm also wondering why Intel is not offering many of these newer drivers? (ie. v13.6.2.1001)

Hello Fernando, I couldn't understand barely any of the responses.

1) Do you mean that for RST a BIOS update is not mandatory but that I can update regardless? I say this because I don't like updating BIOS if there isn't a strict need. A clear benchmarked performance gain can be considered a good excuse to update, not sure if that's what you mean.

2) RST software not necessary or you can't confirm?

3) I don't understand what you mean. Are you implying that RST v13.6.2.1001 doesn't officially exist? I guess what I am asking is what are the latest Intel RST drivers? On the Intel web I only find RAID drivers and not even the versions listed here. The way you worded it made me think you are posting both official and modded drivers, for example:
Notes: These drivers are dated 01/27/2015 (shown as being dated 12/05/2014), WHQL certified and usable with all Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up. Only Intel 8- and 9-Series Chipsets are natively fully supported by these drivers. Users with an older Intel chipset, who want to get them installed, may try the modded version I am offering >here<.

I understand... so this is not like going to your nvidia web and downloading the latest drivers, this is more like going to your graphic card manufacturer (ie evga) web and downloading from there the video drivers... strange practices to be honest...

On the ASUS web the top RST driver for my Gryphon Z87 is v12.8. The reason I asked for official latest versions is because to fix hotswapping I need the software (or so it seems), but you don't include them with the drivers.

Thanks for help.
