you have no clue or advice on why my speeds seem to be capped?

---

No.

What is your experience on AVARAGE sequential write speeds on sata 300 (ahci) on an first grade SSD with your drivers.

---

Since I never had an Intel ICH9R system with an SSD running in SATA2 (3GB) AHCI mode, I cannot answer your question.

I suggest this modification (in bold)

Done!
Thanks for the tip and for having clarified what you meant.

@ all:

Update of the start post

Changelog:

• new: 32/64bit Intel RST(e) drivers v14.8.4.1046 WHQL dated 01/19/2016

Notes:

1. The included AHCI/RAID drivers are WHQL certified by Microsoft and usable with all Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up.
2. Only Intel 8-, 9-, X99 and 100-Series Chipsets are natively fully supported by these drivers.
3. Thanks to Station-Drivers for having published the source package.

Meanwhile I have installed this brandnew RST(e) driver v14.8.4.1046 onto my Z97 AHCI system, but I doubt, that it will be better for 8- and 9-Series Chipsets than the v13 series.


Good luck with these Intel AHCI and RAID drivers!

please keep us all informed if you'll do some benchmarking!

You can find >here< the results I got with my Z97 AHCI system.

@ all:

Update of the start post

Changelog:

• new: 64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI driver v14.8.5.1047 WHQL dated 02/17/2016

Notes:

1. The included AHCI driver is WHQL certified by Microsoft and usable with all Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up.
2. Only Intel 8-, 9-, X99 and 100-Series Chipsets running in AHCI mode are natively fully supported by this driver.
3. Thanks to Station-Drivers for having published the source package.
4. Unfortunately neither the 32bit variant of the AHCI driver nor the related RAID drivers are available until now.

Meanwhile I have installed this brandnew RST(e) driver v14.8.5.1047 onto my Z97 AHCI system. The first benchmark results seem to be very promising (look >here<.

Good luck with this Intel AHCI driver!

It does not install on my Z170 (Intel 100 Series/C230 Chipset Family).

---

Which DeviceID has your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller, how did you try to install the driver and which OS are you running?

@Morku:
I just have checked the related INF files: The Intel SATA AHCI Controller of your mainboard (DEV_A102) is fully supported by the Intel RST(e) drivers v14.10.0.1016 WHQL.

I used device manager, opened SATA AHCI Controller and updating drivers, "search on PC" to the folder where I extracted the driver. It stayed 14.8.5.1047.

---

The simple reason, why Win10 x64 didn't automaticly update the in-use Intel AHCI driver v14.8.5.1047 WHQL is, that you have tried to replace a newer driver by an older one (the v14.8.5.1047 is dated 02/17/2016, whereas the v14.10.0.1016 has been compiled by Intel already at 02/03/2016). A higher version number does not automaticly mean, that the driver is newer.

Simple solution to get the v14.10.0.1016 WHQL driver installed: Choose the manual driver update option "Let me pick..." > "Have Disk".
