Version: 17.7.0.1006 (Latest) Date: 9/30/2019
Detailed Description Systems running driver version 15.9.x, 16.0.x, 16.5.x, or 16.7.x should update to the latest version.
Note: Intel recommends that 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.
Purpose The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) Driver 17.7.0.1006 supports the configuration and enabling of multiple features including:
- System acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory
- Configuration and maintenance of RAID 0/1/5/10
- Intel® RST
Note: Contact your system manufacturer prior to installing these applications or requesting technical support from Intel. They may provide software that is specifically configured for your system.
Which file to choose?
- SetupOptaneMemory.exe
- Specifically designed and optimized to support system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory modules
- SetupRST.exe
- Supports system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory in addition to advanced features such as management of RAID 0/1/5/10 volumes.
- f6flpy-x64.zip (64-bit Operating System) / f6flpy-x86.zip (32bit Operating System):
- Standalone Intel® RST Drivers with Intel® Optane™ memory support
- May be required during Operating System (OS) installation to detect PCIe* NVMe* drive, refer to system manufacturer documentation or Intel Customer Support
Note
- Only one of the Setup (SetupRST.exe or SetupOptaneMemory.exe) applications can be installed on a system at a time. Choose the application that makes the most sense for your intended usage and configuration.
- The Intel® RST driver SetupRST.exe supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. The driver should be installed after the operating system has been installed. F6 and RAID BIOS configurations need to be performed prior to installation of this driver for proper operation. This driver supports NVMe devices.
