Which "newer" version do you mean?

This v13.1.0.2126

So you obviously succeeded now. What was wrong previously?

It seems to me that I was doing the same .
I will try again.

Thank you the report dmgary. Based on the picture, he meant that the newer 12.7.5.1988 oROM I attached yesterday works as expected.

According to my own test results I doubt, that the v14.x.x.xxxx Intel RAID driver/ROM combo is the best for your system.

I bet, that this issue had another origin.

So try to go back to version 13.1.0.2126 ?
Maybe do some tests now?

It is your decision.
Just for your information: The Intel RST(e) drivers and RAID ROM v14 series has been designed for the brandnew Intel 100-Series Chipsets and not for the "old" Intel 7-Series Chipsets.

Thanks for help.

I went back to version 13.1.0.2126 RST(e) ROM - Ok

Drivers
Intel recommends drivers for Windows 10 x64 v.14.5.0.1081

Do not worry about this and install 13.1.0.1058 WHQL?

That is nonsense, beccause your chipset is not fully supported by the v14 series Intel RST drivers. All older Intel RST drivers are running fine with Windows 10.

There is no reason to worry about it.

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 Mobo. I was able to replace update to orom to V13.5.0.2164 in original bin file and flashed successfully.
Now I replaced orom in original bin file with v14.5.0.2241 and flash BIOS. However when I look in the BIOS it still shows v13.5.0.216.
Can mobo orom be updates to v14.5.0.2241. Thanx

There are at least 2 different Intel RAID modules within your mainboard BIOS:
1. the Intel RAID ROM module (the related RAID Utility can be run by hitting CTRL+I while booting), which will be used, if you are running your system in "LEGACY" mode, and
2. the Intel EFI RaidDriver module (the related "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" Utility can be joined from within the UEFI BIOS), if you are running your system in UEFI mode.
So if you have updated just the Intel RAID ROM module, the "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" Utility will not be updated. and shows the previously used version.

It can be updated, but I do not recommend to do it. Your Z97 RAID system will run better with an Intel RAID driver/OROM combo v13.x.x.xxxx.

Thanx I'll keep it on Ver13 then. Just for interest I use UEFI and have 3x Samsung EVO 840 SSD in RAID0. I enter my raid setup via the bios not CTRL+I. What part in the bin file must be replaced to update the EFI RaidDriver module? I like to play around and let you know what combo works the fastest on my mobo. Edit: I've just checked in legacy mode (Ctrl+i) and to orom does show V14.

If you are booting your OS in UEFI mode, the Intel RAID ROM module (it is a .bin file) will not be used at all. If you want to update the in-use Intel EFI RAID module, you have to replace the BIOS module named "RaidDriver" (sometimes named "SataDriver"). It is not an Option ROM module and not within the module named CSMCORE.

So no way to update the UEFI raid part in BIOS? Thanx anyway for all the work.

It is very easy to update the Intel EFI RAID module by using the UBU tool or by doing it manually with the AMI Aptio UEFI MMTool, but you obviously haven't done it.
