I am running an Asus P8P67 Pro motherboard with the newest BIOS revision 3602.
This BIOS uses Intel Rapid Storage Technology v10.5.0.1026 for the onboard RAID (which can't be upgraded without Asus releasing a new BIOS).
On Windows, I also use the same matching version of the Intel RST driver (v10.5.0.1026) because that is what Asus has available for download on their website.
My question is, can I upgrade my Windows Intel RST driver to the newest version (v12.8.0.1016) even though my BIOS still uses the older version of RST for the hardware?
Would there be any benefit/drawbacks to upgrading my Windows RST driver to v12.8.0.1016? Everything works fine the way it is now with matching hardware/software versions of Intel RST, but as my motherboard gets older, their will be newer and newer versions of the Windows RST driver available.
