In the firs place I don't see what its the big difference from 7 to 8 series anyway to exclude it... They probably locked it internally (Like TRIM for 6).

The Intel 7- and 8-Series Chipset SATA Controllers are quite different and the Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver modules contain different codes for Intel 7-Series and 8-Sewries RAID Controllers. usable

Oh yes I must try it on win 10, maybe it will work?

You may test it, but I recommend to insert the Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver v14.0.0.2209, before you do it.

Zitat von mindwarper im Beitrag #735
Suppose I am willing to use the v14 or the v14.5 driver and I have an Z87 chipset board, which version of the OROM should be used, I suppose the v14 or not? Is there actually an v14.5 OROM?

Yes, before you are going to test the Intel RST(e) v14.5.0.1041 RAID driver, I recommend to update the Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver to v14.0.0.2209.
Until now there is no Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver v14.5.x.xxxx available.

Zitat
Do you actually recommend using v14 branch for a Z87 chipset?

Not really. I would wait until a WHQL certified Intel RST(e) RAID driver v14.5.x.xxxx and a matching RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver aree available.

I already tested this 14 IRST beta with latest EFI 14.
I just vent back on both 13. after that, even if IRST 13 worked well with EFI 14.

Hm, I thought series 7 and 8 were more similar, my bad...

I had no problems installing the new 14.5 x64 drivers/software for my Asus Z97-WS and Win 10. I updated the oprom with UBU as well.

Question: What does the second version in the header refer to? (newest: v14.5.0.1041/v4.2.0.1136 WHQL)? It's mentioned in the title, but nearly nowhere else in the thread. The only piece of Intel software I can find that is numbered like that is the Rapid Start software (which I can't find anywhere and had to use the software that came with the mobo).

Thanks!

It is the newest version of the Intel RST "Enterprise Edition" (RSTe) drivers, which are designed for the Intel X79 and X99 Chipset mainboards.

Please have a look into the chapter C of the start post. There you will find them.

You have probably answered this many times, but what driver would you recommend for the X99 chipset for raid and ahci?
since there seems to be two models of Rstedrivers, but i really dont understand the difference, so which is better to use for me in raid 0? on the x99 chipset

Since I have never owned or used an Intel X79 or X99 Chipset system, I cannot recommend any special AHCI or RAID driver for these "Enterprise" Chipsets.
You should better ask an Intel X99 Chipset user, who has tested different Intel RST and RSTe drivers running in AHCI or RAID mode.

Ok, thank you very much for your quick response! but do you know the difference between the 4.xxxx and the 14xxxxx models? i mean why do they make two models of the RSTe versions?

Only the real Intel RSTe drivers v3.x.x.xxxx resp. v4.x.x.xxxx have been designed by Intel for the X79 and X99 Chipsets.
I personally never understood this strategy, because - except the DeviceID entries within the INF files - there is no big difference between the Intel RST drivers from v11.5.x.xxxx up and the Intel RSTe drivers. They both use the iaStorA.sys as AHCI/RAID driver and the additional SCSI filter driver named iaStorF.sys.

No it seems quite odd to me too...But they may have some evil plan with it :)

just a quick post to inform you all Intel RST(e) drivers v14.5.0.1041 are not working with Piriform Defraggler (last version, 2.19.982).
so no option for optimize drives with that tool currently.

Can I upgrade to Windows 10 without issues?
Or do I have to uninstall Intel RST and driver?

I am pretty sure, that you will get Win10 installed without any problem.

Probably not, but nevertheless I generally recommend to do a fresh OS installation in case of an OS upgrade.

It will work, but not at its best.
You will find the "best matching" Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver module version for the different Intel RST/RST(e) RAID drivers within the start post of this thread.
