my problem oculd be that i also have an SSD and HDD installed at the same time

No, such combination doesn't induce any problem.

AS SSD says storeahci is ok

This "OK" given by te AS_SSD tool doesn't mean the driver, but the SSD alignment.
Although I do not really know how you got your laptop running in AHCI mode, you now are able to replace the currently running MS in-box AHCI driver by an Intel RST AHCI driver, but I am unsure, if this AHCI driver replacement will give you any benefit.

my laptop (2007) model bios is extremely limited. there arent any options to choose much regarding storage except boot order

well i have been running this SSD for 18 months now . and i get the ssd speeds . i didnt notice anything peculiar except now regarding the AHCI drivers.. it could be a windows problem though

@ messiah:
If I were you, I wouldn't change anything now.
Enjoy your old laptop running an SSD in AHCI mode!

the thing is that when i first installed my ssd out of the box 18 months ago the bios can not recognise it..formatted it in win xp pc and inserted again,

my laptop was able to accept it ...cloned my old hdd contents to the ssd . then it worked....

hope this helps for newbie ssd

@ kevindd992002:
Do you remember your following posts?

Zitat von kevindd992002 im Beitrag #991
Is there already a test done that shows if it's recommended to install the lower version of RST (12.9.4.1000 to be specific) for a series 6 chipset mobo installed with Windows 10 (already has a later version of the RST driver installed)?

Zitat von kevindd992002 im Beitrag #993
Will that anytime soon? Or do you think it will still take a few months to wait for the results? If there's no ETA, please let me know as I would understand perfectly.

Zitat von kevindd992002 im Beitrag #995
I'll be waiting for the results then.

It took some hours of work to do the desired Z68 AHCI benchmark tests within the announced time, but I did it and posted the results on 11/23 (look >here<).
Until now I haven't seen any reaction from your side, not even a "Thanks".
To make it clear: I will strongly remember this event, if you should ever ask me again for a favor. I am not even sure, if I will ever do any new benchmark comparison tests. This should be done in the future by one of the current "Leachers".

@ all:

Update of the start post

Changelog:

new: 32/64bit Intel RST(e) drivers v14.8.0.1042 WHQL dated 11/04/2015
new: Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set v14.8.0.1042 WHQL dated 11/17/2015

Notes:

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

Since I just have installed these new Intel RST(e) divers onto my Z97 AHCI system running Win10 x64, here are some pictures:

Good luck with these new Intel AHCI and RAID drivers!

I see quite a difference between the two benchmark snapshots you've posted. Would you care to explain it? Thanks!

All recently released Intel RST drivers v14 series show sometimes a good performance with my Z97 system, but I am missing the stability of the v13 series drivers.
My personal conclusion: The Intel RST(e) drivers of the v14 series natively do support all Intel chipsets from 8-Series up, but Intel has optimized them for their 100-Series Chipsets. For 8- and 9-Series Chipsets the v13 series RST(e) drivers are still the better choice.

Has anybody else noticed that for some odd reason you need to install the drivers manually with the Intel RST(e) drivers v14.8.0.1042 WHQL set?
I am on Windows 7 x64 OS and on the X99 platform in RAID 0 mode and the RST setup installer only seems to install the RST application and not the drivers as well.
The drivers installed perfectly fine manually via the Windows Device Manager.

Anyone know if Intel fixed the issue where the disks do not spin down after activity timeout has expires? In all of the 14. drivers I have tried they don't spin down, so I am still at 13.6.3.1001 on windows 10 because of this (maybe that isn't a bad thing for Z87).

It seems it does ! I think !

On my laptop
Was using 12.9.4 to have APM disabled. it is still disabled now.

It seems only for laptop it fixed not raid drivers

No, after having run the SetupRST.exe of the "Intel RSTe Drivers & Software Set v14.8.0.1042 WHQL" all components (driver and software) were installed automaticly on my Z97 system running Win10 x64.

Thanks, I am trying to spin down a raid set.

I installed v14.8.0.2377 on my Asus Z170-A on Windows 10. They work fine. But one bug I have noticed. Inserting a Disc to my BD-Rom the label won't update in My-PC or My Computer. Once you enter the disc the label updates. Uninstall and using microsoft drivers works fine with BD-Rom drive. Anyone know a fix for this?

@ Dion:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

I don't believe that, because 14.8.0.2377 is the version of the Intel RAID Legacy ROM resp, EFI RaidDriver BIOS module and cannot be installed.
If you should mean the Intel RST(e) driver v14.8.0.1042, please let us know the SATA mode you are using (AHCI or RAID?).

Whose label doesn't update?
Is the BD-ROM device connected with an Intel SATA port?
