Thanks! I'm going to try them! BTW if you want the worlds fastest SATA III drive its available right here: http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/myd...sandforce-ssd/ its SLC only $275 and eats incompressible data for lunch. Look: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/479...ew/index1.html I just ordered 2 myself so records will fall
Just installed 11.6 driver performance is good:

memory leak IS GONE
Installed F6 drivers ok on RIVE (X79), but Intel Raid console installation gives an error saying "System does not have minimum requirements for installing the software".Quote:

And in the Device manager the C600 Series Chipset SATA Raid Controller still is show as the only compatible controller.

i suppose Intel has to review the package for X79.
I just have checked the content of the INF files for these new RST drivers v11.6.0.1030.
Intel obviously has forgotten to add the HardwareIDs for X79 chipsets into the iaStorAC.inf file.
Interesting detail:
The drivers themselves (= SYS files) and the INF file iaStorAC.inf (= information file for RAID systems) have be finally compiled by Intel at 09/02/2012, whereas the INF file for RAID systems named iaStorAHCIC.inf have been modified by Intel at 09/07/2012.
I suspect, that Intel has added the X79 support after having compiled the drivers, but forgot to add the needed HardwareID for the "Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller" into the related information file for RAID systems.
I agree with you.Quote:

Until the review of the official package RAID users with an X79 chipset mainboard may use a "modded" driverpack, which contains the missing HardwareIDs. I will present such package very soon within the start post of >this< thread.
Same here, had to use the f6 in device manager, installer will not work on my x79. It is another E driver, fastest one yet for me but still not there when put up against 11.2 or 11.1.7.
Could you also post in the English thread? i can manage French, Spanish and English but not German :confused: Thanks very much.Quote:

Just used Fernando's driver fix, worked a charm with the installer. thanks bud.
In the CP it comes up unknown controller, no biggie.
It's not necessary to read the complete German text.
Just look for the link to the "RSTe-Komplettpaket v11.6.0.1030 mit den "gemoddeten" 32/64bit Intel RSTe-Treibern v11.6.0.1030" and download the package.
After having unzipped the package just run the installer - that's all!
By the way: The included RST-GUI is multilingual and will be automaticly in English for you.
Thanks Fernando, it worked perfectly, the installer installed 2 controllers: one Intel Rapid, the other one Intel Rapid e. This second has full control of the raid volume i have.Quote:

BTW, were is the damn button for thanking? lol
Guys, is there a working TRIM @ RAID0 solution for X79 yet?
That is because ADATA hasn't released the code yet for them. Every drive product group has a signature key, you can see it in the flash software. If you new FW doesn't match the key then you can't flash and that is why you get the red X. I don't know why ADATA is taking their sweet time about an issue they've known about for six months. Not only that, they released new drives to the market knowing about the issue. They they sent drives to reviewers they knew weren't going to talk about the problem. Personally, I wouldn't buy anything from them after that. The whole thing is shady.
IRST 11.6.0.1030 Release Notes says that the RST OROM/UEFI version is 11.6.0.1702. Someone has tested X79 raid TRIM with this driver and the indicated OROM?
Intel says that this is the "first RST release to contain support for X79 platforms", and as 11.6 drivers and OROM support Raid TRIM on Z77 plataforms, is it too much to hope for Raid TRIM on X79?
Unfortunately i dont have skill to mod the archaic bios OROM the bios has: 3.0.0.1184

According to this post over at Anand's Forums this driver works with X79. I'm not sure where he found the info, I'm just passing it along.
EDIT: I see now that you have already found this info.
According to the HardwareIDs entries of the INF files the original RST drivers v11.6.0.1030 will support X79 chipset systems only in AHCI mode. Intel forgot to add the HardwareID of the "Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller" into the iaStorAC.inf file.
Nice driver 11.6 thanks for the heads up Fernando ,improved performance on my Raid0 24/7 set up.
check this out:

this is a SANDFORCE drive with INCOMPRESSIBLE data. This is the worlds fastest SATA III drive its 128GB SLC costs $275 its this drive: http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/myd...sandforce-ssd/
this was run on 11.6 driver
I'd like to see an ASU or an AS-SSD on that...
Nevermind...i found it...Gilgamesh as always finds the best news on SSD's...

Will wait for RAID OROM v11.6.0.1702 seems to be close to release...
That looks like a really good drive Bill :)
Did you run your RAID numbers yet?
