I have a Nas box that I've been using for 5 years now with a Z170 board and a 7600k. Originally when I setup the system, due to a bug in the Intel RST driver I had to find and install a specific, very old version of the driver in order for the hard disks I have in a raid to be allowed to spin down when idle.
It's always been a headache with windows 10 trying to backrev to such an old driver and not have it auto update to a newer, broken version.
I'm considering upgrading the box to Intel 12th gen so it has enough power to handle on the fly transcoding and other demanding tasks for Plex/etc however I need to know if the current version of Intel RST allows the hard disks to sleep again - the newest version of the driver for z170 still has this bug.
Does anyone have a 12th gen board with an RST sata raid with hard disks that can check if their drives are allowed to spin down?
