The USB3_WIN7_2021 driver works perfectly on up to 7th gen Kaby Lake boards.
Although this driver installs on later generation boards, it is not as robust.
It does not recognize the Startech 2.5" SATA SSD To USB Adapter.
I have many older ssd's that have been replaced by larger sized ones. I want to use them as temp backups rather than dump them.
Starting with the ASUS H310 8th gen Coffee Lake board, the non-recognition appears with 3 short monotone beeps, when the Startech unit is plugged in, instead of the two short low-high normal beeps. Changing to the USB_5.0.3.42 driver solves the problem; the Startech unit works.
But, the 10th gen Comet Lake H510 board has no such equivalent USB driver (at least not for Win 7), and therefore relies on the USB3_WIN7_2021 driver. So no Startech backups.
Is an upgrade to this ubiquitous driver available?
