Intel series 6 (Sandy Bridge) SSD RAID1 on Win10, IRST question

[mikeymikec]

I've just done a fresh installation of Win10 with 2x Samsung 850 PRO 256GB SSDs. Windows automatically used its own RAID driver, and according to Device Manager it's version v13.2.0.1022. The Intel website does not list this version. I'd very much like to get the Rapid Storage software installed so that I can do things like verify the RAID data, etc. Any ideas? The most recent version of IRST that supports series 6 chipsets on the website is older than the driver already installed, and while I suppose downgrading the driver to get the UI is an option, it doesn't seem like that great an option to me.

Yeah. Kind of weird, that it loaded IRST package, but no UI.

When Win10 auto-installed Intel IGPU drivers, I still had access to the Intel Graphics Control Panel.

Likewise, with automatically-installed AMD and NVidia drivers.

@mikeymikec:
For users with an Intel 6-Series Chipset RAID system like you I recommend to install the Intel RST Drivers & Software Set v13.2.8.1002 WHQL. The included drivers are dated 07/09/2015 and the latest and according to my own experience the best ones from the v13 platform.
If you should not find a download link to this Drivers & Software Set at Intel's Download Center, you can grab it >here<.
