What errors did you get? Could you please post a screen cap of them in Event Viewer, or the text details from them?
I’ve been trying to verify this issue with another X99-M WS owner, but all the one’s I’ve found aren’t using the sSATA controller.
they probably are using the sSATA Controller they just don’t know it , I didn’t till I used @100PIER PICs above and saw how to they actually show in HWInfo64 and looked for myself since I have it installed. In DM it shows as a Standard SATA AHCI Controller so that is all I see, You apparently see the sSATA Controller in DM so your Board or Driver set is doing something mine is not on the X99A-II . Seeing the info in HWInfo was why i decided to give it a go but I suspect on mid-lower end boards something is done differently.
Most of the errors (150) were Kernel -PNP event 225 as any program having anything to do with .Net i think (it crashed) and the HDDs where trying to be Ejected but stopped by different programs or services.
So i went back to 12.9.4.1000 on the Main Controller ( so Array is seen as HDDs) and back to the M$ Standard 2006 Driver on the sSata Controller.
PS your e1express error can be turned off in the Intel NIC’s properties …it is not an error …it is just logging connections and disconnections and can be disabled by unchecking Logging in the NIC’s properties.

Why do you think it is not working currently ? I thought it was working with all current drivers ?

Hi,
officially Intel doesn’t support Trim in Raid 1, 10 or 5 with its RST drivers. Only supports Trim in Raid 0 with this drivers. I refer to the SSD’s that are members of a RAID array.
There is only full support for Trim in Raid mode With the RSTe drivers.
Hello Fernando,
my goal is to obtain trim support in Raid 1 with two SSD’s in an Asus Rampage V Extreme board.
I’ve been trying to mod this mainboard (X99 chipset), 2101 bios version, with the Intel RSTe Option ROM and EFI modules. I’ve tested several bios modded with the RSTe versions: 4.5 , 4.3 , 4.2 , 4.0 and 3.8 with no luck. The modded bios boot up without issues but there isn’t a Raid driver section in bios. There isn’t a RAID Option ROM screen with CSM activated and there isn’t a RAID EFI section in bios with CSM disabled.
I’ve used UEFITool v0.21.5 following the guide of this forum to mod this board.
Any sugestion? Thanks in advance.

Thanks …you are right I was thinking Raid0 as I use it for Data Array’s and currently for 2-120gb SSD’s in Raid0 for the OS on an older machine.

@nsb :
If you want, that your on-board Intel RST SATA RAID Controller (DeviceID DEV_2822) works with an Intel RSTe RAID ROM or EFI RaidDriver, which have been designed for DEV_2826, you have to use modified Intel RAID modules.
Hi,
Fernando, thanks for your reply.
Ok, I see, this makes perfect sense. I flashed a modded Bios with the IRST 14.8 OPROM and all worked fine since the first time, without issues and I used the same method than with the IRSTe OPROM’s.
Is it very difficult to modify this modules?, is it possible to learn to do it or to get it in this forum directly?
Many thanks.
It is not easy to modify any BIOS module in a way, that it will properly work with your Intel RAID system after having flashed the BIOS, which contains the modded Intel RAID ROM/EFI module.
If you tell me the Intel RSTe RAID ROM or EFI RaidDriver module version and model (for booting in LEGACY or EFI mode) you want, I will do the modification fo you (but not before mid November).
By the way: Your request has nothing to do with the topic of this thread and the related Sub-Forum named “Important Drivers”. If you have any further questions or reeplies regarding the Intel RAID ROM/EFI modules, please post them into the related “BIOS Modding” Sub-Forum.
Hi Fernando, Can you advise me which driver should I install for ASUS Rampage 2 Extreme? For this Intel RST Drivers X58 Chipset/ICH10R. Now i use ver.11.2.0.1006 from you. When i want use newer “Universal Intel RSTe Drivers+Software Set v11.7.4.1001 mod+signed by Fernando” so on Windows 7 software Samsung magician that can not handle non-original driver. So which should I use? Ths.
I was looking for from here: this site
Why haven’t you installed the Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set v11.7.4.1001 WHQL from the start post of this thread? It is the last Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set, which fully supports systems with an Intel ICH10R Southbridge.
I´ll try . While ths.
hello,
I’ve created a new thread in the Bios Modding subforum with the topic: "A modified IRSTe RAID module for the Rampage V Extreme" to continue this conversation. If somebody wants to help I would appreciate it a lot.

So if one has an X79 mainboard (Gigabyte GA-X79-UD7 to be exact) with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 which SATA / AHCI driver set is the best right now ?
I did download the new set (4.5.0.1234) but i was surprised to record inferior performance compared to the official 13.1.0.1058.
Thanks in advance.
This platform is not supported…
@TheStranger :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
As you can see within the start post of >this< thread, I recommend to take the Intel RST(e) AHCI driver v13.1.0.1058.
Regards
Dieter (alias Fernando)
Damn, i was hoping for something newer and better than a 2014 driver to be honest with you
