@panosxidis : Did you compare the benchmark results after having updated the Intel RAID ROM BIOS module and the Intel RST driver to v18 with the ones you got before? If yes, please post the related scores.

Why I can’t install Intel RST(e) v18 on Win7?

Fernando · July 24, 2021, 9:02pm

@BedroomCommunity : Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

Because the code of the v18 platform drivers (= *.SYS files) don’t support older Windows Operating Systems.

@Fernando for x299 systems generic or specific is the best???your mod inf!!thanks

@panosxidis : Since I don’t have a system with an Intel X299 chipset, I cannot answer your question. You should test it yourself. There will not be a huge difference, because both driverpacks are using the exactly same (untouched original) driver = *.SYS file.
Note: To get another variant of a driver with the same version and date installed, you have to force it by using the “Have Disk” option.

@all:
Here is something for users, who would like to install the latest available Intel RST AHCI/RAID driver onto their natively not supported Intel SB/Chipset system.
Update of the Start Post:
Changelog:

new:
Generic 64bit Intel RST AHCI+RAID driver v18.34.3.1003 dated 06/25/2021
(mod+signed by me on 08/19//2021)

To verify, whether this generic Intel AHCI and RAID driver definitively works with natively not supported Intel Chipsets, I have installed it onto the DEV_A102 Intel SATA AHCI Controller of my old Intel Z170 chipset system running Win11.
As you can see here, the installation went flawlessly (after having imported the Win-RAID CA Certificate):

Good luck with these freshly modded and digitally signed latest Intel AHCI/RAID drivers (don’t forget to set a “Restore Point” before you start the installation)!

how to uninstall this my friend said me to install but i don’t want this can someone help me?

Fernando · September 29, 2021, 8:15pm

@abnormal : Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
You can easily return to the previously used AHCI or RAID driver by
a) running the Device Manager,
b) expanding the related section of the Device Manager ("IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" or "Storage Controllers"),
c) doing a right-click onto the Controller, which uses the modded storage driver, and
d) choosing the options "Update driver" > "Browse my computer…" > "let me pick…".
Now the all compatible Controller devices should be shown (the name is given by the previously used driver resp. its *.inf file).
Choose the desired device and click onto "Continue".
After the next reboot your system will use the previously used driver.
Good luck!

Hi Fernando! I installed the Intel RST drivers v18.36.3.1019 on Windows 11 but I don’t understand what I have to do with the files iaStorAfsNative.exe and iaStorAfsService.exe.

Fernando · October 5, 2021, 2:17pm

There is no user action required regarding these files.

Hvngskts · October 11, 2021, 10:47am

Pls help me Fernando. I need driver Sata AHCI for win 10 pro 64bit with my mainboard Asus P8B75-CSM. I just has standar AHCI with wirte speed 100mb.

Fernando · October 11, 2021, 11:21am

@Hvngskts : Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
All my mod+signed Intel AHCI drivers may support your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller. Please check >here<, which Intel RST platform and driver version are the best for the chipset of your mainboard. Don’t forget to import the Win-RAID CA Certificate before you start with the driver update.
Good luck!
