Intel Rapid Storage Technology question...
The PC in question is Sandy Bridge based system with one SSD and an HDD. Is it necessary to install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology that installs a service with the same name?
I am trying to get rid of the following error message, event ID 9, in the system log:
I've searched for this error and this link has a pretty good explanation; quote:The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
That's pretty much the exact description of symptoms my system experienced.If your hard drive doesn't support LPM (Link Power Management) then, by default, Intel's controller still attempts to send LPM commands to the drive which causes the computer to freeze for 10 - 30 seconds and it creates two events in the event logs.
While the link references ICH7R and ICH8R controller hub drivers, the suggested registry fix seemingly fixed event 9 errors for the ICH10R as well.
Removing Intel Rapid Storage Technology probably will not do anything in relation to this error, I don't really see much use of it.
The other question relates to the ICH10R controller driver; is this driver, that freezes my system, necessary at all? The reason for asking is that I have another system based on the Asus P7P55 motherboard that does not have Intel controller driver installed and it works just fine.
Thanks in advance...
