Asus Zenith Standard Sata Ahci Controller Driver Windows 7
Hi all,
I noticed after a clean install of Win 10 Pro that in the Device Manager I had two 'Standard SATA AHCI Controller' entries that showed the driver dated in 2006. I run 2 x SSD's a HDD and a BluRay writer.
So I downloaded the latest version of SATA drivers at the Asus ROG site for my motherboard. After running, one entry in Device Manager has changed to 'Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller' but the other remains 'Standard SATA AHCI Controller' - still with the 2006 driver version 10.0.10240.16384 dated 2006/06/21
Is this correct? Windows reports that it is the most current driver.
ALSO: The driver installed 'Intel Rapid Storage Technology' program. Do I need this? If I do need it, must it be enabled at start up? I am wondering if it might conflict with Samsung's Magician which I also have installed?
Sorry lots of questions....
Update Standard Sata Ahci Controller
I'm trying to set up my motherboard with RAID 1 on two M.2 SATA drives on the DIMM.2 card. However, when I enable the RAID function in the BIOS, strange things start happening with my SATA DVD drive (also from ASUS).
If the DVD is connected to one of the 6 SATA ports and RAID is enabled, then the system says that one of the M.2 drives is connected to whatever port the DVD is plugged into, instead of the DIMM.2 port. The second M.2 drive looks fine.
The RaidXpert 2 stuff seems to work...it will show me all drives, including the DVD, all on the correct ports. I can create the RAID 1 volume, no problems I can see.
But with RAID enabled, I can't boot from the DVD to install Windows, I can't boot from a copy of my C drive from my existing system, etc.
The only way I can get the DVD to work is to disable RAID mode entirely.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?
