Which version of Intel Rapid Storage Technology is the latest version for X99, Particularly X99 FTW
 
Reason I ask is I run RAID0, Both drivers I have used on X99 work fine. but would to hear input before installing.
 
FYI: I ran the Intel Driver Support Assistant and it says 14.8.16.1063 is latest for my board.
I will use this if no one has anything else.
 
When I visit the link for 14.8.16.1063 it always says a newer version is available.
Intel has the worst site for looking for the correct drivers and software.
 
Also: EVGA driver search says. 14.5.0.1081 which I used for a long time.
 
I will be installing a fresh Win10 1809, just want to get my drivers and software ready.

    This should help simplify things, but will more then likey just complicate it. No DCH Driver available yet?
    It still says you should use the driver provided your manufacturer.
     
    either way I guess I will just use the 14.8.16.1063 that the DSA says is the latest for my board. 150-HE-E997
    The one I've been using since the 12th
     
    I wish EVGA would update the driver section.

    Yes it is, but where does it say anything about x99 or 5th gen platform.
    Am I missing something? I can never figure out what the latest for my platform.
     
    However just before secure erasing my SSD, I did install the 16.8.0.1000 IRST just to see what it would do.
    I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but in long term who knows..
    I just went with the latest from using DSA which is the 14.8.16.1063
     
    Like I said, What am missing about supported platforms? I am always lost when it comes to Intel software.

    We have the same MB and CPU just in case you did not know.
    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/x-series/i7-5930k.html
     
    When you install this or any Driver on your X99 if it is not Supported on the Platform it will not allow it to be installed.
    The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) User Interface and Driver is for ALL RTS Hardware.
     
    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/chipsets/desktop-chipsets/x99.html
    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/chipsets/desktop-chipsets.html?RAID+Configuration=1009
    https://ark.intel.com/products/series/98458/Intel-9-Series-Chipsets
     
    Now at RST 14 the Same as the Z97 and H97 the X99 is based from the C610 Series Xeon E5 v3 (7th Generation Intel) Platform.
     
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27400/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver
     
    Platforms supported
    • Intel® 200 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI/RAID Controller
    • 7th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family Platform I/O SATA AHCI/RAID Controller
    • Intel® 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI/RAID Controller
    • 6th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family Platform I/O SATA AHCI/RAID Controller
    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/x99-chipset-pch-datasheet.html
    The X99 Started at RTS 13.1 and is now at 14.
     
    Hope this helps a little;
    For the most part the X58 X79 X99 and now X299 are really based on Server Chipset Platform over the Desktop Chipset Platform.
    Like a lot of owners of the X299 Motherboard look only for X299 Drivers but it is really Intel® 200 Series Chipset Family
    Same as with the Z370 and Z390 they are Intel® 300 Series Chipset Family

    So I believe the latest IRST RAID for X99 is 14.8.16.1063
    as it is the newest version that says 9 series chipsets are supported in the readme.txt file
     
    it says this in version 15.2.16.1060
    "For Intel® platforms not supported above, visit the RAID version 14.8.0."
     
    whereas 9 series is not listed as supported.

    Did you try to install it and it said was not supported?
     
    "whereas 9 series is not listed as supported." you mean like for the x299 and Z390 Motherboards?
     
    I am doing this now.

    If supported means allows to install then x99 is supported in 16.8.0.1000
     
    EDIT:
    Whats even worse is the newest IRST supporting 9 Series/X99 Chipset which is 14.8.16.1063
    Does not say it supports Windows 10 64-bit in the README.txt.
     
    2. The system must be running on one of the following
        operating systems (no other Windows OS versions are supported):
        - Microsoft Windows* 7
        - Microsoft Windows* 7 x64-bit Edition**
        - Microsoft Windows* 8
        - Microsoft Windows* 8 x64-bit Edition**
        - Microsoft Windows* 8.1
        - Microsoft Windows* 8.1 x64-bit Edition**
        - Microsoft Windows* Server 2008 R2 x64-bit Edition**
        - Microsoft Windows* Server 2012 x64-bit Edition**
        - Microsoft Windows* Server 2012 R2 x64-bit Edition**
        - Microsoft Windows* MultiPoint Server 2011 x64-bit Edition**

    Time to run that other file thing now. I just have to remember to remove it from the Run in the Registry
    Intel Driver and Support Assistant Installer.exe time to see what my X99 and X299 say about this new tool. 
    I do not use RTS on any of my rigs do have to test it out sometimes

    I use it for my raid it has been very reliable over the past who knows how many years. close to 10 I think.
     
    I just want to stay up to date, with windows releasing feature updates every 6 months. which are usually garbage btw.
     
    EDIT:
    I would start a thread at intel, but they answer with, "we are looking into it"
    and the thread goes on for years. then disappears. We had a thread going about RAID0 being so fast it was being recognized as an SSD ans could not be Defragmented without running from command prompt. it was never resolved.

    Also if you run Optane you cannot use IRST as you can only install 1 on an OS at a time.
     
    Only one of the Setup (SetupRST.exe or SetupOptaneMemory.exe) applications can be installed on a system at a time.
    Choose the application that makes the most sense for your intended usage and configuration.

    Well we know 15.2.16.1060 is not supported on the X99
    I am not seeing a Driver to download for Version: 16.8.0.1000 Installation_Information.pdf
    And this tells us we now have to use the Dumb Tool Intel Driver and Support Assistant Installer.exe
    Intel® will be supplying Windows DCH Drivers for its products beginning in November. These drivers will be used for Windows® 10 and Windows* Server 2019 and will replace the existing drivers.  Read more I did send feedback to the on this new Tool.
    So I think we use  Version: 14.8.16.1063 (Previously Released)  Date: 4/16/2017 Last one listed for the - Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset SATA AHCI Controller

    X99 dose not support Optane Memory.

    We have asked Intel this before and they just said to get your drivers from your Motherboard Website.
    Best of luck with this and Intel

    Version 14.8.16.1063 is the latest for this chipset. Have you tried checking with your computer manufacturer?
