In Intel’s release notes I read that RSTe compatibility with C600 and C220 is up to version 4.5. Do the versions you provide have any special features or are they officials?

@Cixert

This is not correct. All Intel RSTe drivers of the v4 platform (latest available one is v4.7.0.1098) do support Intel C600 and C220 chipset AHCI and RAID Controllers. The later released Intel RSTe drivers do only support C600+ and C220 chipsets.

All Intel RST/RSTe drivers I am offering here (except the mod+signed ones) have been officially released by Intel, but only a very few of them are/were published on Intel’s Download Center.
Note: The driver support is the obligation of the mainboard manufacturer and not of the chipset manufacturer. All Intel RST or RSTe drivers, which are/were offered within Intel’s Download Center, are/were designed just for Intel mainboards.

Today I have updated the start post.

Do Z690 and Z790 chipsets support Intel RST without VMD RAID enabled? If I disable VMD RAID in BIOS, Intel RST 19.X drivers are not used at all and motherboard uses Windows stock AHCI SATA drivers. Intel VMD RST is only for NVMe, but with RAID disabled, NVMe also use standard Windows drivers. Is this normal? Is there any benefit to using Intel RST on Z790 with VMD RAID disabled? Perhaps RAID component allows for some non-RAID improvements?

@OpenSource_Ghost
Only experienced Forum members with a modern Intel Z690 or Z790 chipset system will be able to answer your questions.
My knowledge about this topic is very limited, but I suspect no advantage for your system by enabling VMD RAID as long as you don’t want to create an Intel RST RAID Array consisting of 2 or more SSDs.
My advice: Do some tests with disabled and enabled VMD RAID and report here about your results. Don’t forget to post the HardwareIDs of the in-use AHCI and/or RAID Controllers.

Hey @Fernando ,

I probably have a very dumb question but here it goes.

I have a Kingston NV2 500GB SSD.

Gigabyte is offering the Intel Rapid Storage driver 19.5.0.1037 for my Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 mobo. However when trying to install it says I don’t have compatible hardware.

Is this normal?

@ JohnnyGui
To be able to help you I need some additional information:

  1. Which are the HardwareIDs of your in-use on-board Intel AHCI/RAID/VMD/NVMe Controller?
    (run the Device Manager, expand the “IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers” and - if applicable - the “Storage Controllers” sections, right-click onto the Devices with the word “Controller” in their name and choose the options “Properties” > “Details” > “Property” > “HardwareIDs”)
  2. Which is the currently in-use driver for the related Storage Controller?
  3. For which purpose is Gigabyte offering the Intel RST driver v19.5.0.1037 (it is not the latest and supports only VMD Controllers).

Sorry for the late reply.

Question 1. and 2.
My “Standard AHCI 1.0 SATA controller” (driver version 10.0.22621.608) has the following ID’s:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7AE2&SUBSYS_B0051458&REV_11
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7AE2&SUBSYS_B0051458
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7AE2&CC_010601
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7AE2&CC_0106

My “Standard NVM Express Controller” (driver version 10.0.22621.755) has the following ID’s
PCI\VEN_2646&DEV_5019&SUBSYS_50192646&REV_00
PCI\VEN_2646&DEV_5019&SUBSYS_50192646
PCI\VEN_2646&DEV_5019&CC_010802
PCI\VEN_2646&DEV_5019&CC_0108

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I only have an NVMe SSD and no other storage devices, so I don’t understand how there’s an AHCI SATA device listed in Device Manager.

3. I don’t know why they’re offering that driver specifically.

@Dagal
Thanks for having found and uploaded the new Intel RST drivers v17.11.3.1010 WHQL.
I have already updated the start post of this thread.

@JohnnyGui
As long as the Intel SATA Controller has not been disabled within the BIOS, it will be shown within the Device Manager.
By the way - the Intel RST VMD drivers are unusable for your current system.
