After upgrading to V5, PC couldn't detect the drive as the issue was fixed. While I was in Version 4, the V4 Driver added a Metadata in the Secondary Drive that it's a Raid Drive. And, when I was in Version 4, I updated to Version 5 (Latest). But, In all the versions of 4 Series, when a secondary drive is added, the driver made it Intel Raid 1 Drive (despite of not using Raid, using AHCI). WIndows 10 support came first in Version 4 & 4+. Intel had Version <4.x.xxxx.x support for Windows 7 & 8. I installed the latest Version provided by DriverPack Solution. I think that Intel is pushing responsibility of supporting hardware to the OEMs so in your case it would be the motherboard manufacturer - btw what motherboard is that? device drivers) is hardly any good (read hard to find). and if it's too new for your chipset then give the following driver a try:Īs much as I like Intel's hardware, their software support (i.e. SATA Mode is set to AHCI in BIOS of My Motherboard. When it becomes Intel Raid 1 Volume, I can't use SMART but Removable Device problem solves. I searched manually for the Drivers, from Intel I got Version 4.3.x.xxxx but it did the same job it did in 4. Now, If I rollback the Driver of Intel(R) C600 SATA AHCI Controller Driver, it reverts to Standard SATA Controller & I get My Drives back but shows as Removable Drive. ()Īfter this update Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 got Vanished from Everywhere This was My Standard SATA AHCI Controller (You can see My Partitions as Portable Devices )Īfter updating Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 became Intel Raid 1 Volume I searched here & there and found I need to update My SATA AHCI Controller Driver. If I click on that, Partitions were vanished with Drive (From Disk Management also) & without restart I can't find them out.

When I plugged in the HGST, I saw "Safely Remove Removable Drive" icon in the right side & it was featuring all My Partitions (From Both Drives). Before plugging in the 2nd One, I had no issues at all. I had a Toshiba DT01ACA100 when I setup this PC, later bought a Hitachi HDS723020BLA642. I'm using a Chinese Motherboard of X79 Chipset & E5-1650 Processor with 16 GB DDR3 ECC Ram & Windows 10 圆4. Here I can find Highly Expert Tech People. Though this is not a hardware related Forum but as I get most of the help from here, I'm happy to share the issue with you.
