Hi all, I noticed after a clean install of Win 10 Pro that in the Device Manager I had two 'Standard SATA AHCI Controller' entries that showed the driver dated in 2006. I run 2 x SSD's a HDD and a BluRay writer. So I downloaded the latest version of SATA drivers at the Asus ROG site for my motherboard. After running, one entry in Device Manager has changed to 'Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller' but the other remains 'Standard SATA AHCI Controller' - still with the 2006 driver version 10.0.4 dated 2006/06/21 Is this correct? Windows reports that it is the most current driver. ALSO: The driver installed 'Intel Rapid Storage Technology' program. Do I need this?

If I do need it, must it be enabled at start up? I am wondering if it might conflict with Samsung's Magician which I also have installed? Sorry lots of questions.

AHCI is standard stuff, nothing exotic about it.
