Intel RST/RSTe Drivers (latest: v20.0.1.1039/ v9.0.3.1026)

Yes, but you have to import the Win-RAID CA Certificate according my guide before you can install the mod+signed driver.


Ok I get that. That is probably why i get the : “A problem was encountered while attempting to add the driver to the store” message when installing.
I off course use the “have disk” method.
I looked first in the thread and probably i overlooked it, but where can i find "but you have to import the Win-RAID CA Certificate "?

>Here<.

Hi Fernando!

Thanks for helping me out with the sata ahci drivers for the x48/ ich9r chipset.
To be honest I changed it back and forth and still I’m stuck at very low read speeds and write speeds (with big single files maximum of 38-40 MB/Sec, otherwise much much lower like 19-20 MB/Sec) on my samsung 850 pro SSD and my Intel SSD’s.
Ahci enabled in bios of course. On sata300 ports Ok, but in Ahci native mode should it still be better then this.
I cannot figure it out after spending hours on testing and reading.

Same low speeds with usb 3.0 drivers. (i posted details in the usb 3.0 thread).

I’ve got a feeling my whole system is bottlenecked.

Without the knowlege of
a) your special system configuration (mainboard model/disk drives/CPU/Graphics card),
b) the OS you are running and
c) the currently used AHCI driver
I am not able to give you an advices.

I use this version for this device without any AHCI problem:

So, Fernando, you should add in the Notes: (AHCI mode) this other supported deviceID DEV_8D62.

a) your special system configuration (mainboard model/disk drives/CPU/Graphics card),

Of course, i forgot:




I have the low writes on both modded drivers you suggested as with the ‘Standard AHCI driver’ from Microsoft.|addpics|63y-1-eea7.png-invaddpicsinvv,63y-2-39d6.png-invaddpicsinvv,63y-3-90c4.png-invaddpicsinvv|/addpics|

I posted what you asked Fernando. (see above). Curious if you have any suggestions. BTW: i ve got virtually the same write speeds with your modded driver as well as with the “standard AHCI Sata driver from Microsof’t” in Windows 10

Where should I add it?
None of the normal Intel RSTe SATA drivers named iaStor.sys or iaStorA.sys do support the DEV_8D62 Intel sSATA AHCI Controller.

@sparkion :
Thanks for having answered my questions, but I have no idea how I can help you.

you have no clue or advice on why my speeds seem to be capped?

Maybe I can ask you this question and you probably dó have past experience on this, since you have tested your drivers so:
In your experience what kind of write speeds do you experience with big single files ( 1+ GB movie file) continues/sequential write. (I’ve got 40-50 MB/sec Write speed on a sata II/300 ICH9R controller, samsung 850 pro ssd: 50% free space).

So in short: What is your experience on AVARAGE sequential write speeds on sata 300 (ahci) on an first grade SSD with your drivers.

No.

Since I never had an Intel ICH9R system with an SSD running in SATA2 (3GB) AHCI mode, I cannot answer your question.

@Fernando ,

I suggest this modification (in bold):

Done!
Thanks for the tip and for having clarified what you meant.

Update of the start post

Changelog:

  • new: 32/64bit Intel RST(e) drivers v14.8.4.1046 WHQL dated 01/19/2016

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

Meanwhile I have installed this brandnew RST(e) driver v14.8.4.1046 onto my Z97 AHCI system, but I doubt, that it will be better for 8- and 9-Series Chipsets than the v13 series.

thanks for the useful link and please keep us all informed if you’ll do some benchmarking!

You can find >here< the results I got with my Z97 AHCI system.

Changelog:

  • new: 64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI driver v14.8.5.1047 WHQL dated 02/17/2016

Notes:
  1. The included AHCI driver is WHQL certified by Microsoft and usable with all Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up.
  2. Only Intel 8-, 9-, X99 and 100-Series Chipsets running in AHCI mode are natively fully supported by this driver.
  3. Thanks to Station-Drivers for having published the source package.
  4. Unfortunately neither the 32bit variant of the AHCI driver nor the related RAID drivers are available until now.

Meanwhile I have installed this brandnew RST(e) driver v14.8.5.1047 onto my Z97 AHCI system. The first benchmark results seem to be very promising (look >here<.

Good luck with this Intel AHCI driver!
