About SATA / AHCI / RAID Controller Drivers:

When enabled by appropriate software, the SATA controller (RAID or AHCI) is properly recognized by the system and all of its features are made accessible.

In addition to that, the computer will have the ability to read all adapter characteristics, such as model and manufacturer, and will also be able to manage physical disk drives through the controller's interface.

If you wish to apply this package, all you have to do is to make sure that the current release is compatible with both your adapter model and your operating system, and then to get the downloadable software. Extract it if necessary, run the available setup, and follow the on-screen instructions for a complete installation.

When finished, remember to perform a system reboot to make sure that all changes take effect properly. Please remember that, even though other OSes might also be compatible, we do not recommend installing this software on platforms other than the specified ones.

That being said, click the download button, get the package and apply it on your computer. Moreover, constantly check with our website to stay up to date with latest releases.
