1. Hp Sata Ahci Drivers License

I recently successfully redid my HP desktop 500-479 by adding a Samsung EVO 850 500gb SSD and doing a fresh install of Windows 10 on it. The original HDD on the desktop is now my second drive.

No problems so far. The system seems very fast for my purposes.After the install I installed the HP Assistant Software, which I have always followed for updates. Recently the Assistant recommened I install Rapid Storage Technology.With my setup is there any real advantage to installing this? It has to load at boot and forums have reported rare problems but they happen. I only want to add it if offers a benefit beyond a bit of speed.Opinions? Serial number idm.

Hi,If you review the posted IRST driver updates for your PC, the AHCI and RAID drivers are one in the same update package.The full Intel Rapid Storage Technology does have some advantages verses the default MS installed support. If you are using Hot Swap type of activities then you will get notifications. Using the full IRST package for non-RAID operation will give you Storage System Information, Storage System Warnings and Storage System Errors. Additionally, you get the latest driver from Intel verses the last certified driver from MS which in some cases that is not good enough. Review HP's posted comments on the IRST driver update and then again on the RAID driver update.I have been using the full IRST package for years with AHCI and RAID. On my custom PC, IRST is one and the same software update package.Bottom line: What does the PC manfacturer recommend and use? Is that good enough for your needs?

Hi:Go to the device manager for your PC.Since the drive controller is set to AHCI, there should be an IDE/ATA/ATAPI Controllers device manager category.Click on that, and there should be some model Intel SATA AHCI controller listed there.If there is, then you don't need to install the chipset driver.If there is a Standard AHCI controller listed there, then I would recommend you either install the Intel chipset installation utility from your PC's support page, or the one I posted directly from Intel.

I have just a standard AHCI controller listed in Device Manager, so I will instll the Intel controller.Doug.
