Can Intel RST applied in External USB HDD?

[schen116]

OS: Win10 Home build1703

CPU: i3 4170T

SATA mode: AHCI

I have a HDD for OS installed. It is appeared in RST.

Also, I have a external HDD used USB 3.0 port. But, it is not appeared in RST.

Both disks are appeared in file manager and i can it. I just wonder why the external HDD is not shown in RST.

Is that RST not applied in USB-external HDD?

Anyone can answer me? thank you very much:)

Hello stanleygorgor,

Thank you for contacting Intel Communities.In this case, the Intel® RST will detect the drives that are connected to the Intel SATA controller (any SATA port), since the USB uses a different controller, then the Intel® RST won't detect any USB drive.I hope this information helps.Please don't hesitate in contacting us back if you need further assistance.Best Regards,JC
