Thanks Fernando,

Here are the hardware IDs:

Yes, I installed the v2.1.39.0 drivers years ago from Station drivers to rectify an issue with the drivers provided by Asus. The original drivers stopped working intermittently for both USB 2.0/3.0 requiring a reboot before the wireless keyboard/mouse(USB2.0) would work again. I never used USB 3.0 until recently for mass storage devices. In W7, the transfer rate starts out at 160+MB/sec, dropping to 99+MB/sec which should be USB3.0 speeds from what I have read but the status shows high-speed rather than super-speed. In W10, the speed starts out similarly, but within seconds drops to 10-20+MB/sec. Both OS experience disconnects, acting like it has just discovered again the USB device. I have Autoplay turned off so I don't constantly get the popup window asking what action to take for the new drive. I was hoping to get different drivers for the Intel section, primarily the Intel(R) 6 Series/C200Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller-1C26 and 1C2D.

I also read somewhere on your site about the ability to use newer drivers that weren't specifically meant for older controllers, such as the 3.x.xx.x series drivers from Renesas for newer USB controllers like the C216 etc.

As I mentioned earlier, it is primarily the W10 drivers that have the most problems even with the same latest Renesas v2.1.39.0 drivers installed in W10 as well. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus IV Extreme which Asus hasn't updated drivers for since W8 and isn't on the supported list for W10. W10 works just fine except for the USB issues. The USB issues are well known on the Asus forums and the v2.1.39.0 drivers cured the disconnect issues for USB 2.0, but nothing seems to fix the USB 3.0 issues.

I have a problem with my SANDISK Extreme GO USB 3.1 64 GB pendrive. It is fast in writing and reading on my Windows 10 computer, but it is slow on Windows 7 64bit. I wanted to ask if i can install drivers on Windows 7 that can take advantage of the maximum speed of the pendrive. For example it is possible transfer the driver of the Windows 10 in Windows 7?

Thanks for the reply. In any case, there is a mod driver able to work well and take advantage of the new pendrive at a speed exceeding 70mb / s writing on Windows 7?

On Windows 10 my SANDISK Extreme USB pendrive 3.1 64 GB reaches 90mb / s in writing and 170mb / s in reading. On Windows 7 64bit I have only 35 mb / s write. (same computer with chipset h170 intel Series 100)

As long as I have offered the mod+signed Intel USB 3.0 drivers with additional support of the Intel USB 3.0 Controller DEV_1E31, I didn't get any positive feedback from users with an Intel 7-Series chipset system.
Attached are the mod+signed 32/64bit Intel USB 3.0 drivers v5.0.4.43, which additionally do support the DEV_1E31 Intel USB 3.0 Controllers.
@all users with an Intel 7-Series chipset system:
Please test the attached mod+signed Intel USB 3.0 drivers and report about your results.

I have tested "pure 64bit Intel USB 3.0+3.1 Drivers v5.0.4.43 mod+signed by Fernando with DPInst option.rar" on Win8.1, ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE (Z77) and I've found that DPInst installation procedure went flawlessly.
All 3 components have properly installed "Win-RAID CA" sert.

Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller:
ID ........................................ PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E31&SUBSYS_84CA1043&REV_04
inf (iusb3xhc.inf) ................... PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E31&REV_04

Intel(R) USB 3.0 Root Hub:
ID ........................................ IUSB3\ROOT_HUB30&VID_8086&PID_1E31&REV_0004&SID_84CA1043
inf (iusb3hub.inf) .................. IUSB3\ROOT_HUB30

Intel(R) USB 3.0 Host Controller Switch:
ID ........................................ *PNP0A08 or ACPI\VEN_PNP&DEV_0A08
inf (iusb3hcs.inf) ................... *PNP0A08

BUT. I've found an issue within Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller itself.
At the first look everything looks nice, as it should be after successful installation + reboot.
But this device have a hided issues not easy to find. They may being missed at the first look.

It would be nice you test the next things also on your Z170 system.
(I don't remember some exact English names, but I hope you will find the correspondent names/options easily)

1) Open Properties of the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller in the Device Manager.
Go to the 4-th tab "Events" -> "Watch all events..." button. Then event logs section for this device will be created.
You will see some logs in this section, including errors, if any.
So, I have event about successful insallation. But there is a function errors too. For example:

An issue launching the device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E31&SUBSYS_84CA1043&REV_04\3&11583659&0&A0.

Trying to understand why my fairly new 1 year old WD 4TB Easystore backup usb drive suddenly became corrupted after backing up and restoring some steam files. I couldn't even open its contents and got a 'Drive has become corrupted' message when trying to access the drive. Was using the USB Asmedia 1142 controller running 150707_30_02_10 firmware and the latest 1.16.51.1 drivers. I had to run 'Chkdsk /f' to get the drive operational. Now copying every file I can onto another storage device. Does anyone @Fernando think it was the controller that damaged the contents of the drive or maybe my harddrive is actually failing?

Thanks

@Fernando
I've tested the same pack on Win10, x64, LTSB 2016.
[+] DPInst64 works well, no errors during installation process.
[+] All "Win-RAID CA" serts have been installed

Issues with Intel(R) [b]USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller :
[-] Yellow triangle onto device (Device Manager): the device not working properly at all
[-] Wrong digital sign message inside the device properties (in spite of installed "Win-RAID CA" sert), error Code: 52
[-] Function errors inside the driver properties, "Events" section (nearly same as described in my previous post about Win8.1 tests)

Also standard MS driver (from the box) likely a bit newer - 08.10.2017 (v10.0.14393.1794)
I'm guessing, MS online repository have even more fresh "Intel(R) [b]USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller" driver, but I didn't check for the newer Win10 drivers online yet.
(Just for your info).

@davidm71
ASMedia have many HW modifications and very sensitive to proper FW. If you have flashed wrong FW, then you are in trouble.
Anyway, nobody can aswer you for sure, because you didn't notice the model of your mobo, do you using external card or onboard chip.
To recognize the real chip for 100%, making the real photo of your chip (and numbers+letters) is often necessary.

Then you may asking specialists for some very first help and advices. I guess...
I'm, personally, sure in ASMedia FW only for my own mobo (no any updates since 2013 and updating process is highly dangerous).
So, I'm updated the chip only once with 100% proper FW and forget about it. The version of my present driver pack is the same as yours (the most rescent version by Fernando).
That's it.

@iWARR,

I am going to flash back to stock firmware then in that case. Not worth the risk.

Thanks

@iWARR:
Well I went there and back again and now back on the stock firmware. Hopefully I won't have another drive fail on me!
Would recommend others not take risky chances as I have. I was lucky I didn't brick the controller. Came very close!
All well now I hope.

@100PIER:
If your using 150707_30_02_10 (I thought you were go back on stock).

iWarr Since you asked it was an MSI X99A Godlike motherboard with 1141 and 1041A controller.
I used LSPCI to identify the proper chipset. Though this review marks them as slightly different:

On my ASUS SabertoothX99 machine the ASMedia component "ASM1242 USB3.1 Host Controller", identified as "PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_1242&SUBSYS_0001103C&REV_00" is equipped with a Firmware which has been updated 3 times from the beginning.
Firmware history versions I used (from 2016):
141231_30_02_0D => 150707_30_02_00 => 150707_30_02_0C => 150702_30_02_10 (currently the last one).
