Notes:

- Known Issue is defined as a potential Intel RST issue that has been replicated internally by the Intel RST team but has not been root caused to be an Intel RST defect.
- The RAID OROM & UEFI version for this release is 17.8.0.4507, the driver and user interface version are 17.8.0.1065 and Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management (HSA) App version is 17.8.1007.0. For Intel RST Premium features (e.g. RAID, Intel Optane memory, CPU Attached Storage), it is recommended that both the Intel RST pre-OS and Intel RST OS driver components are updated.
- Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management (HSA) app is not a part of this driver package. It will be available on Microsoft Store.

New features and updates:

- Disable File Cache for Intel Optane Memory H10
- Intel Optane Memory and Storage Manage Status: The Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management Status Screen will display a message to inform the end user that pinning files/folders/applications is not available and how to re-enable Optane Pinning feature using the UI
- Re-enable Pinning feature by End user
- No impact to File Cache after RST driver Upgrade
- Bandwidth Aggregation support for Intel Optane Memory H10 in DC mode
- Improvement in Idle Cache cleanup for Intel Optane Hybrid device
- NVMe IOCTL Pass through support in WinPE
- Unique RAID alternate ID per platform generation
- Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management UI enhancements
- Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management application will support displaying limited system and storage related information when SATA Mode is set to AHCI.
- Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management application will display both Serial Number and Controller Serial Number for NVME SSD. This feature required both the latest Intel RST driver and Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management UI.
- Intel Optane Memory with H10 SSD recommendation
- Intel Optane Memory H10 must be enabled in AC mode.
- In addition, good practice is to match the Intel RST driver version in Windows PE manufacturing and the shipping image.
- Intel Optane memory volume roaming: Intel Optane memory volume when moved from Intel RST Premium with Intel Optane System Acceleration (RAID Mode) to AHCI/non-Optane mode configuration and switched back to Intel RST Premium with Intel Optane System Acceleration (RAID Mode) can make the drive non-bootable.
- RTD3: If RTD3 is enabled, Windows can turn off disk for very short time (e.g. 20ms). The minimum off time for some disks can be much longer (even 1s). If the disk is turned on too fast, it can hang in some undefined state. RTD3 should be disabled if the disk specification states longer minimum off time.

About SATA / AHCI / RAID Preinstall Drivers:

Download this package if you intend to switch the SATA settings between available modes (AHCI, RAID, or IDE) after an operating system has been installed.

Remember that if you modify these settings without applying the proper files, the OS will not be able to boot until requirements are met or changes are reverted.

As for the installation method, it would be best if you refer to the manufacturer's update guide, read all the steps, and initiate this task only when you have completely familiarized yourself with the procedure.

Even though other platforms might also be compatible with this release, we strongly recommend that you apply the driver only on specified operating systems in order to successfully perform the installation. If a failure occurs, the computer could suffer serious malfunctions.

With these in mind, if you wish to modify the SATA settings according to the mode highlighted in this version, click the download button and make the desired changes. Visit our website as often as possible to stay up to date with the latest releases.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
