Intel Rapid Storage Technology for old MB

[Lisa Gerrard]

Hi, in few weeks I had a lot of my partitions (bigger than 2 TB) that get corrupted on new 3 or 4 TB HDDS, so I would like to update intel drives of my old Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4, but it seems that I can install only the one on gigabyte site, 8.9.0.1023
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2624#driver
the newer ones (12.8.0.1016 or 11.7.0.1013) on intel site give me error, or my system did not meet the minimum requirements (don’t know which ones, ahci was enabled, I have windows 7, 32bit, no raid)

do I have to stick with Intel Matrix Storage console 8.9? update to windows 8 should help?

regards

Only use later than 8.9 on systems of ICH10R and later. Older 7,8 & 9 should stay with 8.9 as it is stable.

OS choice wont help unless you put ICH to AHCI and use Storage Spaces in Windows 8.
