Where can you download the RSTe application to manage Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller.

[JTher1]

We downloaded and installed RSTe v17, but it gives an error saying that we need to download and install the latest version, I'm unable to locate the correct software. See below system report.

Where can I download the correct software to manager the Intel RAID controller?

Hi JTher1,

Thank you for your contact to Intel® SSD support group with your request for assistance with Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST).

We have reviewed the information provided and found your request on your installation of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) User Interface and Driver Version: 17.2.0.1009 the Latest version from 3/15/2019 can be downloaded from following link: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28650/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver

Intel recommends end users, utilize driver updates provided by their system manufacturer/provider or via Windows Update to eliminate the potential impact caused by loading non-customized drivers.

System manufacturers regularly customize Intel generic drivers to meet the needs of their specific system design. In such cases, use of the Intel generic driver update is not recommended. As an OEM product, Intel® provides generic versions of hardware, software and drivers to manufacturers. Your OEM is responsible for altered features, customization incorporated, or other changes made.

Our recommendation is to contact your OEM, Supermicro* directly, for further details on download and installation; for additional details on configuration, Supermicro* has created a User’s manual you can download from the following link: https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/Intel_PCH_RAID_Config.pdf  

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

We will be looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Hey, that is the link we used to install the software causing the error.

According to that URL the latest version is 17.2.0.1009 (Latest) Date: 3/15/2019. If you refer to the logs that I shared in the first post that is the version we are currently running.

Furthermore I checked supermicro's website, they only provide the driver for the LAN adapter. https://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/resource_drivers.cfm
