I have just gave the RST drivers 14.5.0.1081 and 14.5.2.1088 a test on my X99 platform running in RAID 0 and the RST drivers 14.5.0.1081 seems to crash and hang the system
as usual with the 14x drivers. I haven`t had a crash or hang yet from my system with the RST drivers 14.5.2.1088. I haven`t updated the Intel RAID ROM yet to the latest 14x
version. I am still using the Intel RAID ROM v13.5.0.2164. The RST 14x drivers I usually get a crash or hang no matter what Intel RAID ROM version I am using. Since the
RST drivers 14.5.2.1088 hasn't crashed or hang the system for me yet is a good sign and that they should also work fine in RAID 0 even with the latest Intel RAID ROM version 14x.

It would be nice to hear from other users if the RST drivers 14.5.2.1088 are working fine for them too as well when running in RAID 0.

I am running Windows 7 x64.

I have done some further testing and the RST drivers v14.5.2.1088 in combination with Intel RAID ROM/EFI BIOS modules v14.5.0.2241 seems to be working just fine on my X99 platform running in RAID 0 on
Windows 7 x64. No system crashes or hangs like the previous 14x RST drivers for me. It seems like this set is ok when running in RAID 0 thought further testing will need to be done on other chipsets and
Windows OS to conclude where this set does indeed fix the RAID 0 issue that all other previous 14x RST drivers sets had suffered from and so they are safe to be used on RAID 0 systems.

Hi all

Could someone please suggest what driver version should I install for Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller? Cause I must admit I am confused by all development branches and release dates. Also, should I install both iastorA.sys and iastorF.sys or just one of them? As I understood I don't need the whole iRST software package since i use AHCI mode, right?

Thanks

Hi Fernando, I installed the latest IRST from Intels website 14.5 and on my Z77 motherboard, the message I received said, "Platform not supported" But I've read it worked for other people. Can you figure out why that would be?

Great, thank you Fernando, I forgot to mention this is for Windows 10, will those IRST drivers work on it?

Hello Fernando, thank you for your work!
I'm testing Windows 10 on my system with Z77 chipset and Intel Raid OROM 14.0.0.2234 with last Windows 10 v14.5.0.1081 driver.
Before that, I was using 12.9 OROM and 12.9 drivers on Windows 10 (I don't know how it was working, because it was very old driver for Windows 8 and the OS update process didn't touch it).
My 2 WD Black are on Raid 1 mode, my OS boot drive is SSD. The bios is on Raid mode obviously.

According to my own experience you have not chosen the best Intel RAID driver/Raid ROM combination for your Z77 RAID system.
Please have a look into the first post of >this< thread. At the end of that post you will find a table, where I have listed the special Intel RST/RST(e) drivers, which I recommend for Z77 Chipset RAID systems. If I were you, I would take the Intel RST(e) RAID driver v13.1.0.1058 WHQL and "downgrade" the Intel RAID ROM resp. EFI "RaidDriver" module of the mainboard BIOS to v13.1.0.2126.

Nevertheless it is possible (but not recommended) to get newer Intel RST drivers installed onto all Intel Chipsets from ICH8R up, but only in RAID mode. It works because of the common external DeviceID of the Intel SATA RAID Controllers, whereas the DeviceIDs of the AHCI Controllers are quite different.
