Yes, I know that it is stated there in the download page. But that is the only stable version of RST lately that only works good with windows 7. You may find it contradictory, but it is true :) And that is only why I suggested this particular version only. It works, every time, everywhere.

I'm running a Windows RAID, is there any major advantage to using RST rather Windows native?

Is running a RAID is a must? In most of the cases it is not; but you may have the real requirement. In that case, it is assumed that the third party drivers performs better than the native driver. Somebody says it is the truth, somebody says the reverse. There is a lot of controversy on this topic. But If you want to use the intel driver successfully, unfortunately the 11.2.0.1006 driver is the only stable option there.

You are welcome :)
Update this thread when you think it is needed .... it is open :)

Good to know :)
If there are any further issue, let us know.
