@kathampy
To whom did you address your last post?
Why don’t you check the BIOSes and present the interesting Intel RAID EFI modules yourself?
I checked the same BIOS but couldn’t find it.
The VROC for SATA module is not useful on consumer boards, even X299. Even if the UEFI has an option to use "RSTe Mode" or "Alternate Device ID" for SATA RAID, it still uses the RST v17 EFI module at boot though you can load the RSTe / VROC SATA drivers in Windows. The RSTe / VROC EFI module doesn’t seem to be used in any configuration. The VROC for VMD module however is used for NVMe RAID, and there probably must exist a matching version with RSTe / VROC for SATA as server boards use both.
EFI Intel VROC (IRSTe)
- RaidDriver (0x2826)
- sSataDriver (0x2827)
v7.5.0.1030

Thanks to @plutomaniac
PS x399 or x499 chipset?
vroc_efi_7_5_0_1030.rar (92.8 KB)
None as X399 is AMD and X499 does not exist. It’s from Lewisburg (LBG) C620-series PCH.
Works great on X299 VROC NVMe RAID.
@Fernando Please update the first post with these modules. Maybe add "VROC" to the X299 section title as well, since from v6 onward it’s no longer called "RSTe".
Which board did you get these from, and does that vendor have a matching v7.5 VROC driver for Windows / Linux? The VROC manual states not to use earlier drivers than the EFI module, so the v7.5 drivers must exist.
@all:
Update of the start post
Changelog:
- new: "pure" Intel RSTe EFI VROC SATA and sSATA "RaidDrivers" v6.2.0.1034 (without header)
- new: "pure" Intel RSTe EFI VROC SATA and sSATA "RaidDrivers" v7.5.0.1035 (without header)
Note: This will be my last update of the start post. It takes too much time for me and I have supported the threads about the Intel RAID modules long enough (more than 7 years!) It is time for someone else to take over this task.
Good luck!

@kathampy :
Done, but I have to stop keeping the start post up-to-date.
Since you seem to be very interested in having all the newest Intel RAID modules for the different Intel Chipsets offered in one place, it would be fine, if you would start new threads about the Intel RAID Option ROM and RaidDriver modules. Once such threads are up, I will close the ones I have started.
Thanks in advance!
Dieter
@Fernando VROC/ RSTe 6.3 sSATA (attached efi driver SATA and sSATA, source)
Otherwise: Those entries for 6.2 seem to be quite similar and the corresponding files are identical?

@lfb6 :
Thanks for having uploaded the Intel RSTe SATA and sSATA RaidDriver modules v6.3.0.1005.
The SATA has alredy been offered within the start post, but the sSATA one was missing until now.
No, your attached modules are newer.

No, your attached modules are newer…
That’s not what I meant!
Thanks a lot for your work! Having kept these threads up to date for > 7 years is quite impressing!
@lfb6 :
Now I got it - you are absolutely right: The modules are indeed identical! Thanks for having checked the code.
After having done a deeper look into the hex code of all Intel RSTe RaidDrivers, which belong to the v5 and the v6 platform, I have realized, that all the v6 platform ones are VROC modules, whereas the v5 platform ones are non-VROC modules.
As a consequence I have meanwhile corrected the start post of this thread, removed the links to the reportedly non-VROC modules v6.2.0.1034 and customized the names of the already uploaded Intel RSTe EFI SATA/sSATA RaidDriver modules v6.3.0.1005.
Thanks again for having the heads up!
I am trying to replace my UEFI raid driver from version 15.2.0.xxxx to version Intel-RSTe_EFI-RaidDriver_v15.9.3.3408_without-header, I just can replace using MMTools
and using UEFITtool there is no such option to convert efi without header to ffs with header
MMTool pic.
Using EUFI tool replace or save are always grayed out
I should add, I have DEV_822 Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller with Intel Chipset Intel® CM238 (100/C230), I thought I test 15.9 first and give a try as higher versions have to be tested first on 100 series
Edit: Nevermind, I just had to use an old version from UEFItools, new version has a new engine doesn’t support replace
@jen11 :
If you want to update an EFI "DXE Driver" BIOS module like the Intel EFI RaidDriver by using an *.efi file (without header), you should either use the UBU tool or the UEFITool.
All UEFITool versions will do the job, if you expand the content of the RaidDriver module, right click onto the "P32 image section", choose the option "Replace body…", navigate to the desired RaidDriver.efi file, double-click onto it and save the modded BIOS.
@Fernando
When I tried the alpha, it was grayed out, using the 0.28.0 did the trick, I just replaced the PE32 image keeping the GUID and it worked just fine
@all:
My absolutely last update of the start post
Changelog:
- new: “pure” Intel RSTe EFI SATA and sSATA “RaidDrivers” v7.0.0.2086 (without header)
- new: “pure” Intel RSTe EFI VMD VROC modules v7.0.0.2086 (without header)
Good luck!

Yes, but only for 1 day (05/21/2020 vs. 05/20/2020), but they belong to different development branches.
A comparison of the release date only makes sense for modules, which belong to the same development branch (e.g. v6.2 /v6.3/v7.0/7.5).
