Questions:
1. Are you running your system drive in AHCI or in RAID mode?
2. Did you already check your BIOS and Energy Options settings?

First thanks for the time you put into doing this.

I've been getting warnings in the event viewer, Event ID 129 "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort3, was issued.". I believe this started happening after updating to windows 8.1 and was not a problem in windows 8. I was using 12.8.4.1000 then updated to 12.8.6.1000 with the same problem. I then went all the way back to 11.2.0.1006 but the problem keeps happening. I am using ROM 12.7.0.1936 on an ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional. Also these warnings are happening at almost exactly 5 minute intervals all day long.

Has anyone had this problem or know what may be causing it?

Thanks for any help.

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your report.

I doubt, that your problem is caused by the OS Win8.1 or by the Intel RST driver. Please check the third party programs you have installed.

I have a Z87 system (Intel board, Intel SATA), with a non-raid SSD disk (non-part of an array) on SATA0, and two HDD in RAID1. The latest driver is the recommended one I suppose?

Also what is write-back-caching exactly? Is that really recommended to use or not?

Thanks!

It enhances the write performance of an Intel RAID system and is only available after having set the Intel SATA Controller to "RAID" mode.

and the bug shutdown of hard drives, the computer shut down?

A greeting

Just thought I'd post what the problem ended up being. You were right it had nothing to do with RST driver but was the external Seagate 4TB USB3 drive I had plugged in.

Anyone remember which version of RST started causing the HDDs to spin-up during shutdown?

I've just done a clean install and Windows installs 12.0.1 driver by default, with this driver there is no HDD spin-up during shutdown. Previously I had the newer ones and it had that "problem" and I know I've had it for quite awhile now. I'd like to update as far as I can while avoiding that annoyance.

Hi guys,
I just updated my RSTe to the latest official version. I am comming from a 12.x'ish version using a ssd and a hdd on non-raid. However, after updating my windows gave me constant iastorA.sys-related bluescreens. I managed to boot into safe mode and manually roll-backed to an earlier driver (12.5.0.1066) which allowed me to boot into windows again. Checking the device manager I noticed my sdd + hard drives are listed as scsi devices now which has not been the case before updating RSTe. Does anyone have a clue how to fix this issue?
//editt: ok, sorry just forget about the scsi stuff but I am still bothered why the latest RSTe (12.​8.​0.​1016 from intel hp / 12.8.6.1000 from this thtread) give me bsod. Which RST version would recommend for a Intel 6 series chipset (z68 pro3)? controller firrmware is 10.8.0.1303

@ PeRRo_RoJo:

Thanks for your report.
Please add
a) the chipset of your system,
b) your SSD/HDD configuration,
c) the SATA Controllers, where they are connected and
d) the SATA mode they are running (IDE/AHCI/RAIDinside/outside a RAID array).

@ PeRRo_Rojo:

Thanks for your reply and for your interesting test results you have published at Intel's Support Community Forum.
You have verified undoubtedly, that your shutdown issue is caused by a bug of the Intel RST(e) drivers v12.x.x.xxxx (except the Win8.1 generic v12.0.1.1018) in combination with Windows 8.1, if more than 1 RAID array is connected to the Intel SATA ports.
Meanwhile I posted a comment to your report at Intel's Support Community. Look >here<.
