No, you lose the data if you loose the array.
What are you trying to do???
If you want all single drives, switch to achi.
If you want a raid 5 you need to create one / raid 0, inside of the raid controller bios.
here is what i want
i got 3 hdd's which are being used for as a storage for movies programs etc.
and i got one ssd.
i installed fresh windows 7 on my ssd .And i pluged the other 3 hdd's into black ports to use them as a storage as i used them before.
everything worked fine.and i tried to install ahci drivers for my ssd with intel rapid storage tech. drivers.and when i installed that driver my hardisk disappeared ,they automatically became a raid volume.and then i break up the raid array to use them as a seperated.they became scsi drives in device manager under disk drives.and now here i am lost my datas

X79A-GD45 (8d) intel storage technology problem

hi guys
i have corsair force gt ssd and also 3 normal sata hardisks.
when connect all of them everything works fine but my ssd looks like
corsair force gt ATA Device
and the other hardisks ata device as well
when i install intel rapid tecnlogoy
my ssd looks like corsair force gt SCSI drive in the device manager as should be.
but my other hardisks dissapear.when i uninstall the intel rapd software and the drivers of it everything works fine every hardisk appear in my computer.
and also even the intel rapid program is installed the software of it doesnt work.it gives error.
so what is the problem _?
is it normal or has any disadvantages looking as ATA device in device manager for my ssd?
should i have to be installed intel rapid tech?is it necessary?
in the bios achi is set.
Best regards.

MOVED: X79A GD65 [8D] Intel LAN Driver(s)

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.

My Driver problem, along with Memory issues, clock and animations running double speed and Memory_Management errors BSOD have all been resolved since rolling back my firmware update. I also got all my ram replaced by Kingston so they all had the same revisions and this corrected the issue where 4 sticks were registering as different/slower ram.
Not even the MSi LAN Driver worked prior to these changes...

Memory slots has a number.
It won't boot at all with those sticks or would it POST and crash later?
This a new build or it just happened after a while, how long?
I don't think memory slots die, it may be the CPU.

Well I used these settings I found on another forum and it wouldn't even post:
BCLK: 125

Tried backing down the multiplier a few but still no luck
While it may seem that if it works for one set, that is not always the case. A simple duplication will not always yield the desired result. Why dont you try leaving the blck at 100 and the blck strap at Auto 1st, set your RAM to its rated speed and enable XMP. Also 1.36v should be more than sufficient for 4.625Mhz, however, every chip is different and you may just need more. You need to provide more details as HU16E stated though there are still too many settings that you may have changed that are hindering your results.

MSI X79A-GD45 8D - B2 at boot

Hey,
Just bought a Asus GTX680 4gb graphic card to replace my gigabyte HD7970 GHz edition card.
My system works just fine with the HD card but when putting in the GTX680 card it stucks before the bios windows and only shows the message B2.
However if i wait about a minute it does proceed but then for a second there was a lot of color streaks (looks just wrong) and then it jumped into the start of windows 8 screen where it froze..
I have seen some threads talking about B2 could refer to cpu problems and such but wouldn't i have had about the same problem with the HD7970 too then as it's quiet equal to the other one?
Bought the computer in december and got the following setup:
MSI X79A-GD45 8D
Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz
Corsair 32GB (4x8192MB) CL9 1600Mhz
Corsair SSD Force 3 Series 120GB
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011
Corsair AX 750W 80+ Gold Modular
GK ATI Gigabyte HD7970 Ghz Ed 3GB
Anyone here that might have any knowledge about this? Would be very grateful for any assistance
PS. i did see a thread mentioning turning of legacy which helped someone with this problem but did not help in my case.

My fault, I mean an update for the VGA, not the mainboard. A brand X UEFI/BIOS would in fact kill your mainboard. Using a HDD with an OS on it from another machine is not really a good test as the drivers, chipset, etc. can be completely wrong. X79 default is AHCI Mode, and if the other HDD OS was installed under IDE Mode, that makes sense it wouldn't boot past the log in.
Just an FYI, but have a look in this section of the forum that is VGA related, and as you can see, there are a lot of issues with GOP VBIOS and graphics cards with Windows 8. MSI files will not work on your VGA though.

Do you think a work around could be to install the latest bios update and install windows 7 instead? i.e would that hypothetically reset drivers in the bios that might been install with windows 8?
I've heard horror stories about once Windows 8 is installed with it's embedded key, trying to install Windows 7 is a total disaster. It might work if a switch is made to the other BIOS chip and then installed Windows 7? Might be worth a try. It would sure maybe answer the question about the GOP VBIOS being needed on that VGA.

X79A-GD45(8D) Blank screen after CMOS reset

I had a bad switch and a bad GPU that came on my Black Pearl
from Cyberpower. They sent replacements and I thought I would
add a hard drive I had and a sound card. I was adding the
sound card because after I got replacement the GPU the sound was bad.
I must have hit the on board system with the card.......
I put the hard drive and switch in and tested the system.
It worked fine but the spalsh screen didn't come up.
I was going to disable the onboard sound in BIOS but the Boot screen
nor BIOS would come up. If I hit DEL or f11 I got a blank screen.If I
did nothing it went straight to the Windows screen with the users on it.
I checked on the forum and found the thread about reseting the CMOS to
fix that problem. I shorted the jumper as the manual said, removed the
battery and hit the reset switch. The system came up, sounded like it
was hitting the floppy then the blue LEDs went out and it came up again.
It would keep coming up and shutting down until I pulled the plug.
Is it looking for a boot disk? I have a repair disk from CyberPower
I tried in both drives while it was cycling with nothing happening.
Any suggestions?

[Z77A-GD65] Intel Rapid Storage Technology 11.5.0.1207

Hi,
I've been updating some drivers today on a new build (in sig. below) with W8RP following the recent release of new drivers.
Updated drivers to latest for Chipset, VGA, Intel Management Engine, but when I get to RST I get the following error;
'This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.'
I've rebooted after each driver update.
This also happened to me a few days ago on a previous OS install on this machine, but on that occasion the version on the supplied DVD with the MB was the same version number and worked fine, of course this is now out of date.
I have my SATA controller set to RAID and I see my drives in the RAID ROM prior to POST but as yet no RAID ARRAY set up, but last time I did this, that was done when following the prompts when starting RST the first time.
I'm trying to use my SSD to accelerate my HDD but not sure why I get the above error message :-s

Hi xmad,
Thanks for that, somehow some confusion had crept into proceedings and I was trying to use the Rapid Start package which is now no surprise why it was complaining at me because I don't have that switched on in bios at the moment.
The link you supplied is right, I had that already but somehow had got it confused with the Rapid Start one. It also has the floppy file set for supplying during OS install which is not separately highlighted on the downloads page like it is for the earlier version. Extracted and tested the setup file in the package you linked to 'intel_rst8_mb' which completes setup now.
I've taken my driver / utility load sequencing from Live Update 5 History Tab prior to me uninstalling it.

I had problems when trying to install USB3 driver (W7 x64) on prior install of W8RP because it complained at me for not having appropriate hardware so maybe it is already catered for in W8 but I don't have any USB3 devices to test and can't see any reference to USB3 in Device Manager. I guess it depends whether W8 includes the Intel driver :s
Going to redo my OS install so I can satisfy myself that I've got a good clean install to make a drive image from.

Lenovo G500 - Intel Rapid Storage Technology" SATA disk on Controller 0, Port Unknown detected"

Hi Folks,
I have a lenovo G500 laptop which i had purchased during thanksgiving vaction in 2013. The machine was working fine till June 2014 when I stated getting Blue Screen of death with error messages "irql_not_less_or_equal" The OS was windows 8.1. This created lot of problem while booting , the machine would not boot at all.
Along with this message I started getting this message "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" SATA disk on Controller 0, Port Unknown detected". This message was coming very often.
I along with Lenovo support did all the things possible, like factory reset etc. Finally the machine was sent out to depot for repair in July 2014. They replaced the hard drive and sent the machine back.
I got the machine back on 22nd July and since last week ,ie, 14th July I have started to get the issues again. My IE and Firefox will suddenly hangon and the blue screen will appear again with same message "irql_not_less_or_equal" occasionally. Yesterday i started getting Sata disk message again.
I wanted to understand why this message is coming back along with blue screen of death. Is there some problem with Windows OS or hard disk seems to crash again?
Thanks in advance
shailesh

hi Shailesh,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From this article, this is the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL possible cause:
"This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high.
The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.
If you encounter bug check 0xA while upgrading to a later version of Windows, this error might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version."
From your description, It's possible that the HDD or the RAM is faulty but it's also possible that it's a software (driver) issue -- which is the hard drive (SATA) controller.
To verify, I would:
1. Run a diagnostic on the HDD (via Lenovo's Storage Quick Test or via HD Tune)
- http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html
2. Run a diagnostic on the RAM (via Memtest86+)
- RAM - Test with Memtest86+
3, Read the BSOD dump file to see what file caused the crash
- How to solve Windows 8 crashes in less than a minute
- If the file is associated with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (SATA Controller), uninstall the software from the Control Panel > Programs and let Windows install a generic Windows driver.
- Link to picture
If you get an error after running the diagnostic test, I recommend you contact Lenovo and report the issue.

BSOD due to intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver?

I'm getting bluescreen-restarts with the code KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. Action Center is giving me a message titled "Solve a problem with Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver" but the solution will not open and it is suggested i check my internet connection (here I am on the internet).

Bucket ID: 0x7a_0 I'm on an Aspire M touchscreen ultrabook from roughly 2012. Sorry for the poor description. Should I download a driver from Intel's website? And if so, could someone point out which one specifically, because there are a few options and I am nervous to mess up my computer somehow. Thanks!

Download this:http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php/downloads/func-startdown/94/(100% turstable website) double click the exe and let files extract, browse in the new folder and launch the setup file. then reboot and check if it BSOD again.

Tecra Z50-A - Intel Rapid Storage Technology not working

Dear,
We have purchased a lot of Toshiba Tecra Z50-A laptops with a Hybrid HDD (with SSD cache).
The exact model:
TECRA Z50-A
PT544E-00D01TBT
We stage and re-partition the laptops via SCCM.
However, when installing all drivers and the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software, I see that only rge HDD is used and no SSD partition with Intel RST.
How can we enable this?
The problem is that the performance is incredibly bad.
The laptops are very slow even though the specs are good:
i5-4200U CPU
8GB RAM
Windows 7 x64
Any idea how to enable this Intel RST?
In the BIOS I can't find any options for RAID as this needs to be enabled for RST to work.
Thank you

Well, I have tried the the latest Intel RST drivers from the Toshiba site and from the Intel site as well.
When installing the driver from Intel I also have the Intel RST Control Center where you can view and change some settings.
From all the info I've gathered, there should be an "Accelerate" tab in the Intel RST Control Center but there isn't.
What ever I try, the performance of all our Toshiba laptops are bad. Very bad. (we have 100 +)
Every user who received a Toshiba complained about the performance.
Right now I am testing it with a different HDD (WD 320GB 7200rpm)... No difference.
Seriously, these laptop are the worst I've worked with in the last decade.

Msi X79A-GD45 (8D) Power on Problem

Dear Msi Users.
I got a Strange problem with a Msi X79A-GD45 (8d) Motherboard.
The Motherboard runs a Intel i7 3930K with a Kingston HyperX 32gb 1600mhz Kit (KHX1600C9D3K8/32GX), a Ati 7770 2gb, A SSD + HDD and a DVDRom
We deliverd 9 systems and 8 of them are Working just great (Al the Set-ups are the same).
One of them is giving strange problems with powering on the whole System.
When i boot the Machine it goes on for a couple of Seconds (Without signal) and then powers off for 2 Seconds, afher that it boot's again and the problem is the same.
So we tried a couple of things, change Memory kit (result the same), change Cpu (result the same), change power supply (result the same), new Motherboard (result the Same).
Then i tried 32gb 1333 kit and the system works great, goes on like normal and boot's windows like normal.
But when i put the 1600ghz 32gb kit back the problem is back right away. Even with a New 32gb Kit.
The Bios is the Last version, We are in the Dark now. Is there a smart guy who can help us?
Thnx in Advance and Greets from Holland.

If they need 1.65V, they are overvolted & overclocked DDR3-1333 chips for sure.
So ...
Be sure XMP is disabled.
If it doesn't work on "Auto", you need to manually set the speed, timings and voltage (for 8 modules I recommend around 1.60V).
Good luck.
Oke will do that, does not work on auto indeed, one rimm (of 4) does but 8 does not.
Quote from: xmad on 24-October-12, 21:44:13
I can almost gaurantee that ram is 1333, with an 1600 oc profile.(XMP)
So it is running at 1333 by default, this indiciates either different bios, or something different about the ram you used previously. Which was why I was thinking perhaps they switched memory makers or something. Something has to be different. The only thing you have tried differently is a different brand of memory.
That is just the Stragest thing.
We Orderd 9 cpu's, 9 Motherboards, 9 Dimm kits, 9 SSD's, 9 HDD's, 9 Grafixcards, 9 CPU Coolers, 36 (4x9) CaseFan's and 9 PC Cases.
All build on one day and all works great, after 4 weeks of great use, 1 of them is giving this problem.
In the Netherlands we call this "Schiet me maar in een balonnetje" with means "Shoot me in a baloon"

Intel Rapid Storage Technology MSI H87-G43

I built a new system for a relative using the H87-G43 MSI board. I have set up a SSD 64 GB to be used as a Caching disk using Intel's Rapid Storage Technology.
I followed the set up procedure which required a BIOS change to RAID Mode before the OS was installed. So I have one 500 GB drive that is accelerated and the 64 GB SSD that is being used as the caching drive.
No errors or BSOD's when booting, I had to enable the drive in the Intel console for this(it sees the drive just fine) to work. The Intel Rapid Storage Technology(Intel SRT) really improves boot times over just using the mechanical drive. It is not a performance issue I am having just a reporting issue I think.
The question I have is about how Windows is reporting the drives in Device manager and computer management.
In device manager only the 500 GB drive is shown and it is shown as a SCSI device.
In computer management only the 500 GB drive is shown.
Both drives are shown in the Intel management console for this technology.
The computer is running fine and zippy, I am just a bit concerned about the 500GB drive (SATA) being reported as SCSI. Funny I downloaded SPECCY and it shows it as a SCSI drive as well using a 40 pin cable.
Any help, thoughts, ideas, or experience with this technology that could enlighten me would be very helpful.
Thanks

Problem solved, windows showing HDD as SCSI device is normal behavior. This was confirmed.

G500 need help with Intel Rapid Storage Technology email notifications configuration.

I have a new Lenovo G500 laptop running Win 8.1. I have discovered the Rapid Storage Technology icon and have been trying to set up email notifications in Preferences using the desktop interface.
Without going into a lengthy description about what I have done already, I can tell you that I have configured the Email Preferences so the test email does not fail immediately, but it does not send the email, either; it just spins In Progress without stopping until cancelled manually using the button. I get no error messages.
I have looked at firewall and allowing IntelCpHeciSvc.exe through because I wanted to see if it made a difference; I have looked for Intel entries in System Configuration & Task Manager Services to try and find a reason for the test email not sending, there.
I have the correct SMTP host address and corresponding Port correct, having gleaned the info from BT's web site, and all the email addresses I have included are active.
Can anyone suggest what I am failing to address?
Moderator Note; subject edited

Hi,
IRST(Intel Rapid Storage Technology) is mainly used for RAID setup and management.
According to Intel, it provides benefits to users of single drives as well.
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-020784.htm
It's recommend you install the proper version which is applied to every OS.
Pre-OS install driver is mainly basic driver used to make sure boot system successfully. Post-OS driver is primarily intended to some function working better.
