If you have the ASUS ROG STRIX X299-E GAMING then choose X299. If it doesn't include a platform such as X299 then it is safe for all platforms. Chipset and MEI firmware is platform specific. MEI drivers are not platform specific. SATA/RAID driver for X299, you would choose 1XX/2XX.

Hi everyone,

I receive a lot of PMs from people telling me that, contrary to what is written on the thread, they can install the SATA drivers from the branch above.

I've explained things a few times about this before, but in order to remove any ambiguity and avoid this kind of PM, I edited the thread and SATA posts to clarify this :

Drivers - 2xx*/3xx*/4xx/5xx : 18.xx.x.xxxx
Drivers - 1xx*/2xx*/3xx : 17.9.x.xxxx
Drivers - 1xx/2xx : 17.7.x.xxxx

* Only some chipsets from the series are supported.

I installed the SATA AHCI Drivers on Maximus XIII Hero (z590) with a 980 Pro M.2 Nvme PCIe 4.0.
That thing messed up my computer, introdusing stuttering every 1-2 seconds. Went back to the Windows Standard Driver and problem is gone.

Not sure if i did something wrong, but this drive doesn't like anything else except Windows / Samsung stuff.

Hi MoKiChU.
Just one more question about SATA drivers. (Drivers - 2xx*/3xx*/4xx/5xx : 18.31.5.1038 WHQL [05/02/2021] ) which chipset does this drivers support, I mean 2xx series exactly? I have Z270 and X299. Thanks

Hi,

Because the compatibility depends on the Hardware Id of your SATA controller.

The simplest method to adopt, is to install the drivers branch without asterisk for your chipset series (17.7), and to try to go up to the drivers branch above (17.9), if you can install it, try to go up to the drivers branch above (18.3x) and so on ...

Concrete example : the Hardware ID of my Z370 SATA AHCI controller is compatible with the 18.3x drivers branch while the Hardware ID of my friend Z390 SATA AHCI controller is not compatible.
