anyone with the Windows 10 issue with Raid can't disable APM with intel Raid drivers higher than 12.9.00 and the hardisks are just turning off and on when you try to read from them killing them after a day if not reverting to older version, windows 7 worked perfect no matter what drivers I used. will updating the oprom fix the issue ?

@x7007:
As long as I had access to my Z77 RAID0 system (until April 2015), I haven't realized any HDD/SSD spin-off/-on problem, not even while running Win8/8.1. und using different v13 series Intel RAID drivers.

Maybe a dumb question: How many Optical Drives (CD/DVD-ROM devices) are connected with your mainboard? I remember a discussion at Intel's "Support Community" Forum, where users of an Intel chipset system found out, that all their HDD spin-on/off problems were gone after having unplugged their second Optical Drive.

Do you mean the version of the Intel RAID ROM? I doubt, that any mainboard manufacturer has ever inserted an Intel MSM RAID ROM v8.x.x.xxxx into any Z77 mainboard BIOS. I suspect, that the latest BIOS for your mainboard contains an Intel RAID ROM and EFI SataDriver v11.x.x.xxxx.

Yes my mistake it is version 11.xx

I don't have any optical device connected.

Do you have APM Hard Disk supporting APM ? if not then you won't have issue. I have the same issue on my laptop Asus G751JT with Hitachi Hard Disk. Again, if you don't have the issue , you do not have APM supported hard disk . Again series 12.9.xxx works, IRST 13.xx any , IRST 14.xx any have the same issue. someone here said IRSe (Enterprise) fixed his issue by letting him to disable APM , but my mother board doesn't support so I can't try, or can someone mod it to support ? Download CrystalDiskInfo and tell us if you have APM supported hard disk then you'll know why you don't have the issue.

Samsung HD103SJ 1TB are effected which has APM
Hitachi HGST HTS721010A9E630 1TB are effected which has APM

The problem every restart it is spinning off until CrystalDiskInfo is enabled and autoruns on startup and it disables it again, it will just screw my hard disk every restart , the worst case scenario if CrystalDiskInfo won't load up then the hard disk will die if I'm not following it.



======================

Hello Fernando,

You can find the modded+signed Intel RSTe drivers v4.3.0.1198 >here<. They will support your Z77 system.
Before you try to install them, don't forget to uninstall the currently running IRST Software and to import the Digital Signature Certificate of Win-RAID CA.

Could I piggyback on this question:
I have a DC7900, Q45 chipset, ICH10D0, 2 Samsung "2TB" [1.86] drives setup with RAID 1 single volume, apparently healthy. all I have loaded so far is utility stuff. still trying to get the os completely updated: it is windows7 ultimate 64bit

from reading a lot of the IRST posts here on the forum I am concluding there is nothing to gain by installing that. am I correct? the current driver showing:
storage: iaStorV.sys version 8.6.2.1014

using auto windows update I see no newer better driver.

also, I would like to install the GUI if posted here somewhere for the platform.

thanks for the forum

sincere apologies. Fernando. its an excellent PC, btw, though older.

regarding the device driver, what is installed now is working ok so far as I know though I have not benchmarked it - I read here some discussions of disk/RAID volume performance , IRST driver vs. iaStorV.sys versions. did not see any evidence that using IRST driver would improve performance in this particular RAID 1 setup on this older platform using these conventional HDD's, but I could have missed. Hence the question. most of the discussion was re: newer systems with better [sata 3] disk controllers and SSD's installed.

the GUI I meant that which is packaged in the IRST software 'bundle'. Am I right in assuming the GUI is only of use with IRST driver installed, not reading hardware raid drive health? the point is, in case of a HDD problem I would like notification somehow. this one is being used as a server, not workstation. without the GUI I'll need to find another way to either get exception notice or periodically reboot and simply check the drive health.
thank you much
