RST driver for Core Ultra Series 1 and 2, VMD F6 driver

[MFess]

Hello,

In the Detailed Description of the current RST drivers, it says:

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) Driver20.2.6.1025.2 supports 12th Gen up to 13th Gen Intel Core platforms.
Intel® VMD support on 11th up to 13th Generation platforms only with an Intel® VMD capable BIOS.

Is there a different driver for the Core Ultra Series 1 and 2?
Where canI find the "F6 driver" to install Windows with VMD enabled?
Is Intel no longer providing them?

Thanks and best regards, Martin

Hello MFess,

Thank you for posting in Intel community Forum.

For me to better understand and diagnose the issue further, let me ask you to provide detailed responses to the following questions. This information will help me isolate the problem and determine the most appropriate course of action moving forward.

1. What is the brand and model of your system?
2. Can you provide more details on why are you asking for this information?
3. Are you getting an error message on your RST?
4. Did you create a RAID volume? If yes, please provide more information about the volume?
5. Can you share some screenshots if you are having issues.
6. Please provide the brand and model of the drives that you are using.

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RST) Driver version 20.2.6.1025.2 supports Intel® Core Ultra Series 1 and 2 processors, facilitating RAID configurations and enabling Intel® Volume Management Device (VMD) functionality on 11th to 13th Gen platforms. Intel

To install the F6 driver during a clean Windows installation, you can extract the necessary files from the SetupRST.exe installer. This process involves running the installer, selecting the "Extract" option, and saving the files to a USB drive. During Windows setup, when prompted to load a driver, you can browse to this USB drive and select the appropriate driver files. MSI

Intel no longer provides the F6 driver in a ZIP format for manual extraction. However, by following the extraction method outlined above, you can obtain the necessary files for a clean installation.
