    Many Thanks to Matrix Leader on My Digital life forum for this post.


    A new release of the intel RST driver has hit the web and can be found here:



    intel drivers pour Raid/Sata/Ata/Ahci

    or


    4shared.com - free file sharing and storage


    There are two claims with respect to its abilities, one being that your system boots faster and the second is that something is going on which just may be TRIM in RAID mode. I haven't got a RAID system but can say my average system loading time before the new drivers on the test system was 16-17 seconds and has now dropeed to 12-13 seconds consistently.

    With respect to RAID and TRIM, I wouldn't dare say it but alot of posts similar to this are popping up real quick:

    USERS BEWARE as there are beta drivers of course...

    Installed this after uninstalling RST 9.​6.​0.​1014 and the windows loading time seems a bit faster. Thanks for the post!

    If anyone with a decent SSD drive tries this storage driver out, please post your 4k Crystal Disk Mark results from afterward (and also the results from just prior to updating the driver).

    Just curious to see if there is any change there.
