Drivers NVMe / SATA / AHCI / RAID para Windows 7 - 8 - 10 - 11

 Preliminary notes:

Many AHCI and RAID users are unsure or don't even know, which AHCI/RAID driver will give them the best results regarding stabilty and performance. They either don't have the time or are not interested to do intensive tests comparing the different types and versions of the available AHCI/RAID drivers, which are or may be suitable for their system.
It is a fact, that there are no drivers available, which will be optimal for everyone. Simple reason: Each system (Hardware + Software) is different and the preferences of the users as well. This makes it very problematic to give any recommendation regarding the choice of the AHCI/RAID driver.
Nevertheless I started this thread with the intention to help unsure users to find "the needle in the hay".

How to get AHCI/RAID/NVMe drivers installed:
There are at least 2 different ways to change the driver of an AHCI/RAID/NVMe Controller:
a) by running an associated installer (= *.exe file) or
b) manually from within the Device Manager (this is the method I prefer).

Notes regarding the manual installation:

  • The related AHCI/RAID/NVMe Controllers can be found either within the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" or within the "Storage Controllers" section of the Device Manager (don't try to update the driver of any device, which is listed within the "Disk drives" section!).
  • If you are unsure, which of the listed Controllers is the one, whose driver you want to update, check the HardwareIDs of all listed Controllers (right-click onto it > "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs").
  • When the installation fails with the message, that the "best driver is already running", you can force the installation by using the "Have Disk" button (after having made sure, that the chosen driver and INF file are matching!).

  • a) Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Drivers

    Download links and infos:


    Intel RST/RST(e) drivers:
    (usable with nearly all Intel chipset systems)

    1. Intel RST drivers v11.2.0.1006
      (dated 05/30/2012, recommended for all AHCI/RAID users with an Intel Southbridge from ICH7R/M up, usable with all Windows Operating Systems from XP up):

      a) Original Drivers and Sets:
      • The related download links can be found within the start post of >this< thread.

      b) Modded Drivers and Sets:
      • You can find the related download links >here<.

      Compatibility:
      • AHCI mode: The WHQL certified 32/64bit drivers v11.2.0.1006 do not support ICH8R/M, ICH9R, ICH8/9/10, X79 and 8-Series chipset AHCI systems, whereas the modified drivers do support all Intel AHCI systems from ICH7R/M up.
      • RAID mode: The WHQL certified 32/64bit drivers v11.2.0.1006 do not support ICH7R/ICH7M and X79 chipset RAID systems, whereas the modified drivers do support all Intel RAID systems from ICH7R/M up.

      Comments:
      • These are the latest and probably last "classical" Intel RST AHCI/RAID drivers, which are managing the Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controller with just 1 single driver named iaStor.sys.
      • "TRIM in RAID0" is supported (Precondition: An actual Intel RAID ROM or EFI RAID "SataDriver" from the v11.2 series or a TRIM in RAID0 modded Intel RAID module is present within the BIOS).
      • Advantages:
        a) They are running absolutely stable and will give the users AHCI/RAID system a very good performance (especially if being used with SSD RAID0 configuration).
        b) They are the last Intel AHCI/RAID drivers, which do fully support Windows XP (32/64bit).
      • Disadvantage:
        Not all features of the newest Intel chipsets will be supported.

    2. Intel RST(e) drivers v12.9.4.1000
      (dated 04/24/2014, recommended for all AHCI/RAID users with an Intel 5-, 6- or 7-Series Chipset system, only usable with Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up):

      a) Original Drivers and Sets:
      • The related download links can be found within the start post of >this< thread.

      b) Modded Drivers and related original Software Set:
      • You can find the related download links >here<.

      Compatibility:
      • AHCI mode: The original 32/64bit drivers v12.9.4.1000 WHQL do not support any Intel ICH7-ICH10 Southbridge, whereas the modified drivers do support them additionally.
      • RAID mode: The original 32/64bit drivers v12.9.4.1000 WHQL do not support ICH7R/ICH7M and X79 chipset RAID systems, whereas the modified drivers may support them additionally.

      Comments:
      • These are the latest of Intel's AHCI/RAID drivers of the v12 series and primarily designed for the Intel 6- and 7-Series Chipsets.
      • Contrary to the "classical" Intel RST drivers the RST(e) drivers are working with an additional SCSI filter driver named iaStorF.sys.
      • "TRIM in RAID0" is supported (Precondition: An up-to-date Intel RAID ROM or EFI RAID "SataDriver" from v11 up is present within the BIOS).
      • Advantage:
        These drivers do support some new features, which partially can be used by users with an Intel AHCI/RAID system, which is not up-to-date anymore.
      • Disadvantage:
        The WRITE performance with Intel RAID0 systems is not as good as with the "classical" Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006.

    3. Intel RST(e) drivers v13.1.0.1058
      (dated 05/02/2014, recommended for all AHCI users with an Intel 7-Series or X79/X99 Chipset system, only usable with Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up):

      Comments:
      • These are the latest of Intel's AHCI/RAID drivers, which natively do support Intel 7-Series Chipsets.
      • Contrary to the "classical" Intel RST drivers the RST(e) drivers have an additional SCSI filter driver named iaStorF.sys (not relevant for Win8/10).
      • "TRIM in RAID0" is supported (Precondition: An up-to-date Intel RAID ROM or EFI RAID "SataDriver" from v11 up or a TRIM in RAID0 modded RAID module is present within the BIOS).
      • Advantage:
        These drivers do support some new features, which partially can be used by users with an Intel AHCI/RAID system, which is not up-to-date anymore.
      • Disadvantage:

      Comments:
      • These are the latest Intel AHCI/RAID drivers, which have been optimized for being used with Intel 8- and 9-Series Chipsets.
      • Contrary to the "classical" Intel RST drivers the RST(e) drivers have an additional SCSI filter driver named iaStorF.sys (not relevant for Win8/10).
      • "TRIM in RAID0" is supported (Precondition: A matching Intel RAID ROM or EFI RAID "SataDriver" module is present within the BIOS).
      • Advantage:
        These drivers do support some new features, which partially can be used with older Intel AHCI/RAID systems.
      • Disadvantage:
        The WRITE performance with Intel RAID0 systems is not as good as with the "classical" Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006.

    5. Intel RST(e) drivers v14.8.18.1066
      (dated 09/06/2017, recommended for all AHCI/RAID users with an Intel 8-/9-Series chipset system and for Intel X99 Chipset systems running in AHCI mode, only usable with Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up):

      a) Original Drivers and Sets:
      • The related download links can be found within the start post of >this< thread.

      b) Modded Drivers and related original Software Sets:
      • You can find the related download links >here<.

      Compatibility:
      • AHCI mode: The original 32/64bit drivers v14.x.x.xxxx do not support any Intel ICH7-ICH10 Southbridge or 5-7 Series Chipset system, whereas the modified drivers do support them additionally.
      • RAID mode: The original 32/64bit drivers v14.x.x.xxxx do not support ICH7R/ICH7M and X79 chipset RAID systems, whereas the modified drivers may support them additionally.

      Comments:
      • These are the currently latest Intel AHCI/RAID drivers of the v14 platform and primarily designed for the Intel 100-Series and Z99 Chipsets.
      • Contrary to the "classical" Intel RST drivers the RST(e) drivers have an additional SCSI filter driver named iaStorF.sys (not relevant for Win8/10).
      • "TRIM in RAID0" is supported (Precondition: A matching Intel RAID ROM or EFI RAID "SataDriver" is present within the BIOS).
      • Advantage:
        These drivers do support some new features, which partially can be used by users with an Intel AHCI/RAID system, which is not up-to-date anymore.
      • Disadvantage:
        The performance with Intel RAID0 systems has not yet been fully optimized by Intel.
      • Alternative for Intel 8-/9-Series Chipset AHCI/RAID systems:
        A good alternative is the usage of the very fast and stable running Intel RST(e) drivers v13.2.8.1002, which can be found >here< (original drivers) resp. >here< (modded drivers).

    6. Intel RST(e) drivers v15.9.8.1050 (dated 07/31/2019),
      recommended for AHCI/RAID users with an Intel 100-, 200- or 300-Series chipset system, usable with Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up:

      a) Original Drivers and Sets:
      • The related download links can be found within the start post of >this< thread.

      b) Modded Drivers and related original Software Sets:
      • You can find the related download links >here<.

      Compatibility:
      • AHCI mode: The original 32/64bit drivers v15.x.x.xxxx WHQL do only support Intel 100-, 200- and some 300-Series Chipset systems.
      • RAID mode: The original 32/64bit drivers v15.x.x.xxxx WHQL may be installable with older Intel Chipsets/Southbridges from ICH8R up (due to the universal external DeviceID DEV_2822), but will only work flawlessly with Intel 100-/200-Series Chipset systems.

      Comments:
      • Due to the problems the user may get once the related driver is running, I do not really recommend to install any Intel RST(e) driver of the v15 platform onto an older Intel system (incl. Intel 8/9-Series and X99 Chipsets).

    7. Intel RST driver v17.9.6.1019 (dated 02/02/2021) or Intel RST driver v18.33.0.1003 (dated 03/12/2021),

b) mod+signed Samsung NVMe drivers:
(Don't forget to import the Win-RAID CA Certificate according to >this< guide!)


Notes:
  • The above offered Samsung drivers are according to my comparison tests the best performing NVMe drivers the users currently can get. For details please look into the start post of >this< thread.
  • To make the mod+signed generic Samsung drivers usable with originally not supported Samsung NVMe Controllers and even with non-Samsung NVMe SSDs, I have replaced the originally listed specific HardwareIDs by a generic one. This customization hopefully will allow a "normal" manual installation of these modded drivers for nearly all available NVMe Controllers/SSDs.
    Benefit for the user: Provided, that the attached Signature Certificate has been properly imported before (has to be done only once), there is no need to force the installation.
  • Strong advice: Don't forget to set a "Restore Point", before you are going to install any modded storage driver!
  • A big thankyou for the idea, for the help regarding the natively not supported Samsung NVMe Controllers and for having tested the drivers while running Win7 goes to our Forum member 111alan.

Additional remarks:
  1. All RAR archives have been packed by using WinRAR v5.xx. So you should use WinRAR v5.xx to get them successfully unzipped.
  2. The listed AHCI/RAID drivers only belong to on-board AHCI and RAID Controllers. Other extern AHCI/RAID Controllers (on PCI cards etc.) have not been included.
  3. The information (= .INF) files of some linked driverpacks have been customized by me to make the associated drivers usable with as many different Controllers as possible. Although I have done my very best while customizing the INF files, the use of the "modded" driverpacks will be at own risk. Before you install any of my "modded" driverpacks, you should have read the last chapter of >this< start post.
  4. All linked XP and XP x64 AHCI and RAID drivers are already prepared for an easy and successful integration into a Windows XP resp. XP x64 CD.
  5. Some of the linked XP driverpacks differ from the original driverpack regarding the folder structure and the content of the file named TXTSETUP.OEM, which is needed at the beginning of the XP installation to detect the HDD/SSD/RAID. The only reason for my customization was to make the AHCI/RAID driver integration as easy as possible and to minmize the risk of a later XP installation failure. None of my modifications has any impact on the functionality of the real drivers (= .SYS files), which have always left absolutely untouched.
  6. If I should have forgotten the drivers of an important on-board AHCI/RAID Controller or if you should find a newer resp. better driver, please let me know it (with a link to the related driver).
