So I have been reformatting my computer this week. due problems. When I set up my computer to install I used raid management set two corsair 90 GT in raid 0. Booted into windows 8.1 install and during the drive selection screen. said load new drivers. which then I picked the latest RST driver (12.9.0.1001). after it loaded them hit install.
Was checking speeds. they seem bit off. So I enable write back. speed seem to pick up. I then started to set up a few other things. Checked to see if TRIM would have worked and. after using trimcheck .05, it says CONCLUSION: TRIM appears to be NOT WORKING <or has not kicked in yet.>
So first thing I did was go to check which driver was loaded for my hard drivers. Checking in Device manager opening the properties of the drive. it say the driver loaded is: Driver Provider: Microsoft, Driver Date: 6/21/2006, Driver Version 6.3.96.00.16384
So I went online and downloaded the latest driver from intel's webpage. everytime I try and update it by selecting the folder which has the iaStorAC.inf it tells me that " The best deriver software for your device is already installed"
if that was the case should it not say 12.9.0.1001 in device properties.
I know the two ssd can be in raid0 due to my old motherboard being an asus p8zzv-deluxe with windows 7 working.
My question is do I really have the latest driver install if not. How get them to install or force windows 8.1 to accept a driver update
