Rst v11.2.0.1006,v11.7,v12.9 mirrors are dead.both 32&64bits
Assuming all onedrive links need refreshing
Also,confirming v10.1.0.1008 is the latest for ICH8M notebook/mobile (dev 2829) onedrive links works

In reply to post #2372 (page 159),
DEV_9D03 is what I also have in my Medion P6678 (MD61550) laptop with ‘Sunrise Point LP’ (6th Gen, Skylake-U/Y) PCH - SATA AHCI Controller [C1], and (7th Gen, Kaby Lake) Core i5-7200U CPU. The table in post #3 of this thread lists it as ‘Desktops’, but I can confirm that it is the Mobiles type, and, yes, up to driver 17.9.4.1017 works on it. Before I manually installed it by pointing Device Manager to the unrarred folder, I uninstalled the SetupRST that I had previously installed.

Many thanks!

you should put a link to 15.2 in the v15 section because its still the last driver set without optane (15.5 and later have optane and HUGE cpu usage on RAID5 volumes making them actually cpu bottlenecked even with just HDDs not SSDs)
i havent been able to install v17 drivers on my win8 Z390 (it just fails near the end, after the A: drive is mounted and unmounted), but i know for sure all the v16 ones still have the huge RAID5 cpu usage bug

@rajkosto :

Done!

The 7.5.0.1990 VROC drivers seem to have suddenly expired. They worked for 2 months and a few days ago my PC stopped booting with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (I’m booting from a VROC device). I could not reinstall the 7.5.0.1990 drivers in Windows as they now failed with a signature error, but I could reinstall 7.0.0.2286 and boot again.

@kathampy : Thanks for your report.
Please add the following information:
1. Which Intel chipset has your mainboard?
2. Which OS are you running?
3. From which "VROC device" are you booting?
By the way - the usability of a driver cannot expire (either it works or not), only its digital signature may expire, but the signature of the Intel VROC drivers v7.5.0.1990 given by Intel is valid until 06/18/2021.

  1. EVGA X299 Dark
    2. Windows 10 20H2 19042.844
    3. Intel Volume Management Device NVMe RAID Controller. I have an Optane 900p boot drive configured in VROC pass-through mode. I need to use VROC pass-through mode for the boot drive because I have a another Optane 900p in RST CPU Attached RAID mode used for Optane Memory acceleration. The RST driver does not support a primary bootable NVMe and a secondary Optane Memory volume at the same time while CPU Attached RAID is enabled.

    The driver signature was valid until a Windows update broke it. Device manager says the signature is invalid now. I had to roll back to the older driver.

@kathampy : Thanks for the requested details.
According to your report the missing WHQL stamp of the storage driver hasn’t been accepted anymore by the updated OS.
By the way - the latest WHQL certified Intel RSTe VROC driver is the v7.0.2.1004 one dated 08/05/2020. The download link is within the start post.

I use VROC on my X299 Apex with 7.5.0.1990. No issues and I even installed the latest CU yesterday without issue so I have rebooted recently.
I am running 4 905P drives in VROC RAID 0 on a Hyper 16X V2 on 19043.867.

Hello Fernando,
I have a question regarding the compatibility of Intel RST 18.x with the Z370 Chipset (using AHCI).
For example, this Intel RST driver version on Station-drivers.com states in the description that it’s compatible but someone commented below that H370 isn’t compatible despite it being mentioned as well.
So are the Intel RST drivers version 18.x compatible with the Z370 Chipset (using AHCI)? Or is the 17.x the only latest compatible version for the Z370?

@JohnnyGui : Please post the HardwareIDs of your on-board Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controller (right-click onto it > "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs"). Then I will answer your question.

@Fernando
Here they are:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A282&SUBSYS_B0051458&REV_00
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A282&SUBSYS_B0051458
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A282&CC_010601
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A282&CC_0106

@JohnnyGui : All currently available v18 platform Intel AHCI drivers (latest: v18.31.5.1038) do support your on-board Intel AHCI Controller.

@Fernando

Thanks a lot for verifying.

One last question. I noticed that Station-drivers.com have Intel drivers with newer version than Intel itself. How is that possible? Do users modify these drivers their own way?

The reason I’m asking this is because I usually download drivers from Intel but it has been a long while since they updated their RST, IMEI and Chipset drivers. They usually release newer drivers when a new Windows 10 build version comes out but until now, there aren’t any of said drivers after the release of Windows 20H2.

@JohnnyGui :

Responsable for the delivery of appropriate up-to-date drivers for the customers is not the chipset manufacturer, but the mainboard/laptop manufacturer (unfortunately they do not support their old products). Since Intel stopped a few years ago the production of own mainboards for the consumer market, you cannot always find the latest Intel Chipset/RST/MEI/Ethernet/Graphics drivers on Intel’s Download Center.
