Hi Everyone,
I hope you can get me some advice what to do best in this scenario :
Within a couple of days i'm going to install a HP Elitebook Workstation 8740w for my work. This notebook is equipped with a Intel QM57 Chipset.
When i get this portable first thing i do is to replace the sata-hdd with a SSD 320-series 120 Gb version, and add a second drive (WD Scorpio Blue 640Gb), and install W7 x64 Pro on the Primairy SSD, Data and other tooling i install on the Secondary WD Drive. Also i will upgrade the memory to 16 Gb.
I'm some confused about which storage-drivers i need to use for this portable for installation later on in combination with the storage i will use.
When i checked the latest HP drivers for this specific notebook, they are talking about the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver Release 8.9.8.1005

But when i checked the latest Intel drivers for this controller they talk about the Intel Driver Release 10.6.0.1022

Are these two drivers diiferent from each other? Must i install both of them or not, and in wich phase of the W7 installation is it best to do this driver-installation?
Thanks in advance for any comments !
Regards
Eric
