@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.
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.
@Fernando
Ah now I understand. But this means that station-drivers shares drivers from different manufacturers for everyone. One might be using an Asus driver for his Gigabyte hardware. I assume this is not a problem?
No, the related drivers are made by Intel and usable for all systems/mainboards with the specific on-board Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controller.

@westlake : Thanks for the link to the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST-VMD) Version 18.2.0.1006 WHQL. I have seen this driverpack on S-D already in the morning and done a look into the files.
Here is my comment:
a) The currently here offered Intel RST drivers v18.1.7.1040/18.31.7.1040 dated 02/26/2021 are newer than the v18.2.0.1006/18.32.0.1006 ones dated 02/18/2021.
b) The related Intel VMD driver v18.2.0.1006 and the Intel RST Installer are missing.
c) These v18.2/18.32 series drivers are the first of a new development branch and may not be free of bugs.
My conclusion: I will wait until the complete Drivers & Software Set (with installer and VMD driver) has been released by Intel.
