I installed v14.8.0.2377 on my Asus Z170-A on Windows 10.
I don't believe that, because 14.8.0.2377 is the version of the Intel RAID Legacy ROM resp, EFI RaidDriver BIOS module and cannot be installed.
If you should mean the Intel RST(e) driver v14.8.0.1042, please let us know the SATA mode you are using (AHCI or RAID?).

Yes I meant to say Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers & Software Set v14.8.0.1042 WHQL drivers..

Inserting a Disc to my BD-Rom the label won't update in My-PC or My Computer. Once you enter the disc the label updates.
Whose label doesn't update?
Is the BD-ROM device connected with an Intel SATA port?

The label of the disc won't update in My-PC. But once I enter the disc and browse its folder structure the label updates. Default Microsoft AHCI driver doesn't have this problem.
In Bios it is AHCI not Raid.

This may be a minor design issue of the Windows File Explorer, but I don't think, that this is a bug of the special Intel AHCI driver version.

Hey Fernando, I was hoping you or someone else here might be able to clue me in on why my 850 EVO 500GB gets pretty bad IOPS? All the benchmarks show results similar to mine as being the *bad* ones and everyone miraculously fixes them after new AHCI drivers.

- W10 Pro 64bit
- Asus Z170-A (all Intel Sata3 6Gb/s ports)
- BIOS/Drivers up to date
- Drives in AHCI mode in BIOS
- Installed 14.8.0.1042 drivers from this thread

I've done all those steps, minus the "Secure Erase" as I just took this specific SSD out of the box and freshly formatted it. I know its not the drive because I have another 250GB 850 Evo and 256GB 840 Pro experiencing the same slowdown

@ Apk07:

There are too many possible reasons for your issue to give you any concrete advice.

This is what I reci�mmend to do
1. Unplug all other storage devices (incl. the Optical Drives) and redo your tests.
2. Check

a) the most important hardware devices (Processor, RAM, PSU etc.) and
b) the mainboard BIOS and its settings.

Your "bad" Random Read results given by the tool Magician (50.466 instead of the promised "up to 98.000") seem to be not as bad as you have thought.
This is what I get with my Z97 system running the Samsung 950 Pro NVMe SSD:

A week after I installed my Samsung 850 Evo 500GB mSATA in Magician I got 92655 read and 86718 write.
I will run it again later and post a screenshot.

@Fernando
I think your results are almost normal, considering your SSD has only two NAND chips and from what I've read you have to work a lot until you set it up to obtain maximum performance.

PS: Samsung SSDs are known to underperform when they are cold.

Please help me to choose the correct driver Intel RST/RSTe.
All that is written on the first page I had read, but I still have doubts.
My system:
Motherboard - Asus x79 Delux (chipsets X79, right ?)
SSD Samsung 840 Pro 256 Mb - System disk install Windows 7 x64
1.HDD Western Digital VelociRaptor 1Tb - Raid 0
2.HDD Western Digital VelociRaptor 1Tb - Raid 0
Intel SATA mode BIOS - Raid

Currently I am using version Intel RST 13.2.4.1000. Which version of the Intel RST/RSTe best for my system?

Thank you.

The best Intel RST driver for Intel RAID0 systems up to the 7-Series is v11.2.0.1006, but it may be difficult to get this driver installed while running any Windows OS (a "downgrade" from an RST(e) to a conventional RST driver may give you a BSOD at reboot). If you want to do it nevertheless, I recommend to read the start post of >this< thread.
A good alternative will be the Intel RST(e) driver v12.9.4.1000.

Well that kind of further confirms there being something wrong with my setup. I'm actually going to jump back to W8.1 and see if I fair any better

Rolled back to 8.1, this is before RST even. Seems like my mobo and W10 aren't happy together

I'm using windows 10 x64, and I run the test after a restart and when CPU utilization is ~0%.
ROM 14.5.0.2241, driver 14.6.0.1029
My windows 10 is fresh installed(~1 month ago), there were some strange issues after upgrading from 8.1 to 10, so I did a fresh install.
