Samsung 840 Pro/Drivers

Just wondering who is using what drivers in their system. Are you using the Microsoft native driver or are you using the Intel achi drivers?(especially those with Z77 rigs)

I use the Intel one on my P8Z77M system. Device Manager shows it as

Intel(R) Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller

I too wonder why it says C216 Chipseet - but that's what it installed.

C216 is the server version of Z77, the drivers are the same for both.

From what I've read, the intel driver is superior to MS, with a bit higher speed and IOPs, but both will do the job.
