Got a link to that one over there at intel or how do i search there for it ?

Hi,

You'll find it on the net if you google for it.
I'm not allowed to post links to driver deposit sites, you see.

And here`s a snip of Device Manager on the same board running Windows 7 on the Samsung 960 Evo M.2, I did not see if there`s a newer driver yet.

And it has IRST installed on it, just one version earlier.

Does anyone here install IRST ? Do we need it ? Apparently it`s just Intel`s version of Windows AHCI driver.

Support for IntelÂ® Rapid Storage Technology (IntelÂ® RST)

And installing the latest version (15.9.0.1015) of IRST installs the 300 series chip set driver on the W10 install, so I`ll leave it, as stated there`s no real difference, and 300 is closer to 299

LOL

Brian, I install it. It is Intel's Raid driver but also includes their AHCI driver, which many say gives better SSD performance than the Windows AHCI driver. But no, you don't have to have it if you don't want it.
