I was waiting for someone to confirm by looking through the inf.
None of the newest Intel RST(e) drivers do support Intel ICH7R/M RAID systems due to the fact, that the following required HardwareIDs are missing within the related INF files (iaStor.inf resp. iaStorAC.inf):
- PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA RAID Controller"
- PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) ICH7MDH SATA RAID Controller"
The latest 32/64bit Intel RST drivers, which definitively do support Intel ICH7R/M SATA RAID Controllers, are v11.2.0.1006 dated 05/30/2012.
@ Abdus Sami:
The Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006 WHQL runs fine with Windows 8, but you will not be able to get TRIM working within your ICH7R/M RAID array, Only Intel 7-Series chipset systems are natively supported by the TRIM in RAID0 feature.
