The Intel Memory and Storage Tool (Intel MAS) is drive management software for Windows that allows you to view current drive information, perform firmware updates, run full diagnostic scans, perform secure erase processes, and provide SMART attributes from Intel SSDs.

Note:

- The Windows download includes the GUI and CLI version of the tool.
- Non Intel SSD's are not supported.
- You can use this tool to update firmware for PCIe /NVMe - and SATA-based Client and Datacenter Intel SSD drives.
- Installation and User Guides can be found in the downloadable .zip package.

If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones. Even though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release on platforms other than the ones specified.

To install this package please do the following:

- Save the downloadable package on an accessible location (such as your desktop).
- Unzip the file and enter the newly-created directory.
- Locate and double-click on the available setup file.
- Allow Windows to run the file (if necessary).
- Read EULA (End User License Agreement) and agree to proceed with the installation process.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Close the wizard and perform a system reboot to allow changes to take effect.

About Storage Driver/Utility:

If you apply this software, the system will be able to make use of several features concerning available storage controllers. However, make sure to confirm that your computer configuration is supported by this release before any utility is installed on it.

When updated to a new version, this software can improve data reading speeds, enhance storage performance, shorten waiting times for copying files or turning on the system, and bring about various other changes.

Should you wish to install this release, all you have to do is simply get the downloadable package, run the available setup, and follow all displayed instructions to complete the process. Bear in mind that even though other platforms might be suitable, it would be best if you apply this release only on specified OSes.

In addition to that, after the installation has finished, we recommend that you do a system reboot to ensure that all changes take effect properly (which is always a good idea after every important update).

That being said, click the download button now and install the package. Don't forget to check with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss a single new release.

  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.
