    Is Z170 compatible with the latest RST driver? According to the release notes: it's not?

    Well, took my chances and installed it earlier on Z170 - and seems to be alright (except that I do use AHCI, not RAID setup).

    Still, it does seem a bit fishy to me that Intel recommends updating Intel® RST to version 16.7 or later - kind of implies that previous not-so-dated hardware will not be supported by them soon.
