I learned RST application (and associated drivers) for Win10 are not compatible with my Intel DZ68BC motherboard.

The last version of iRST compatible with my Mobo will install in Win10 and show the "Accelerate" tab for SRT. You can launch the request for the HDD to be accelerated, but for my system, this process ends in either a BSOD, or error pop-up from RST stating it was unable to complete the operation. Asking for compatibility mode for RST didn't help either.

Windows 10 didn't warn of any incompatibility when I ran its system compatibility check. SRT was in place and appeared to be running fine before and after Win10 upgrade...for many months.
My best guess is upgrade installed Win10 drivers for RST, which may be fine some operations, but the RST application is unable to setup SRT on Z68 board.
The reason I got a new drive to start with was associated with corrupted files indexes, requiring constant chkdsk fixes (but not resulting in bad sectors being identified)....I thought this was early HDD death (only ~3yr use on this drive), so I decided to replace. I now wonder if the active SRT install on unsupported HW & OS may have been the source of these corruption issues.

I found a post claiming to successfully tweak around this to make it work:

...but I question the wisdom of hacking your way of such sensitive components as RAID/disk drivers.

At this point, I may have to decide between suffering through my slow system in hopes intel will release a future RST/SRT drivers and rescue my MB, or just ditch SRT altogether and fork out $ to buy an SSD to dedicate to boot drive.

Thoughts?
