It is the default on-board AHCI driver of all Windows Operating Systems since Vista. It is named msahci.sys (Vista/Win7) or storahci.sys (Win8/8.1/10).

Yes.
The Device Manager lists devices and not drivers. "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller" is the name of the device, which is managed by the generic MS AHCI driver named msahci.sys.

There is no no need to download it, because it is part of the OS.
You can find the driver msahci.sys within the Windows\System32\drivers folder.
