I expected that the driver of SSD 750 would be updated from Microsoft driver to Intel's IRST driver, but nothing happened.

What's wrong?

Successful reports of PCIE RAIDs with RST was only on chipset-connected slots.

You checked the controller part in device manager? Drive-part will not be updated.

Thanks JFFulcrum,

I found the answere from another post:

The answere was that the driver was installed but I was looking for a wrong entry in the device manager. The drives are listed under Storage Controllers, but not under Disk Drives.
