Raid Controller doesn't have a driver

Hi Jack. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

RAID can also be the SATA controller driver that drives the hard drives, although AHCI is now the standard in Windows 10 and 11 for SATA controller, there are still a few named RAID.

Is there a device driver missing in Device Manager, accessed by right clicking the Start button? It will have a yellow ! mark to show it's missing driver.

Easiest way to remedy this is to update your chipset drivers and BIOS/UEFI firmware from Asus Support Downloads web page for your model here:

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Mo...

Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start button. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.

Updating drivers from the Device Manager or Windows Update is rarely enough. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is keep the latest manufacturer's drivers installed from their Support Downloads web page.

Report back results for each step so I know what else to suggest.

Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back I may have other suggestions if necessary.

HDDs attached to PCIe SATA expansion card not showing in Windows 11 Device Manager or Disk Management

Three hard drives are connected to 3 SATA ports on a PCIe SATA expansion card on an ASUS ProArt Z690 Creator motherboard, with Windows 11 Pro, and I don't see those drives in the Device Manager. I want to assign letters to each of these 3 hard drives and make use of them. In the Device Manager I find my 4 NVMe SSDs and one Western Digital HDD listed under Disk Drives. The active SATA ports on the motherboard are occupied by three optical drives and one Hdd. The other three HDDs connected to the SATA ports on the PCIe expansion card are not listed under Disk Drives. However in the Device Manager listed under "Other devices" are four PCI devices. R click on the PCI devices show PCI bus 0, and device 21 for all, and for each is shown funct 0, funct 1, funct2, and funct5. It says there are no compatible drivers for these PCI devices, no manufacturer is listed, so could these be the three HDDs attached to the SATA ports on the PCIe SATA expansion card? How can I discover the three HDDs attached to the SATA expansion card in Windows 11, and how can I get them listed as Disk Drives, and how can I find drivers for them, and how can I assign a letter to each of those HDDS and make use of the drives? Thank you.

 

SATA Drive missing after windows 11 update. Shows in Bios

Hi thanks again for replying. My issue isn't with raid drivers it's with windows 11 not reading my SATA drives. Works with windows 10.

I've ran the latest bios and chipset installer and MSI advised that I don't need the raid drivers unless I'm specifically running raid which I am not.
