Hello everyone.
It 's my first post and i wanted to ask which is the more powerful but stable AHCI driver, for my motherboard Asus P8Z77-V LK?
I currently have installed the generic Microsoft, as you can see from the picture.
Although Device Manager tells me that is a driver Intel 9.3.0.1029.
I also tried to install drivers Intel iaStorA.sys VER12801016 which is the latest available at Asus, for my motherboard.
Everything ok, but i was missing the opportunity to select the Safely Remove Hardware in the Notifiction Icon Area (see photo below).
In fact i have a slot on case, where i can insert a hot-swappable hard disk to use for backup.
I did roll back the driver and the words as in the photo above is back.
Of course in the bios sata port in question (only this) is set as hot plug.
Opinions?
Thank You.
Marco.

Hello Marco,
welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
Since I own an ASUS P8Z77-V mainboard myself and have recently done a performance comparison test using several different AHCI drivers, I recommend to have a look into >this< thread.
