Intel Rapid Storage Technology disconnecting SATA drive

Hi Bruce,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that the SATA drive gets disconnected from your computer. To get clarity, it would be great if you can reply with details requested below:

• Do you receive any error message when the SATA drive gets disconnected?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

As you have mentioned that restarting the computer fixes the issue. It could be possible that the Intel Rapid Storage Technology service is not running properly. We can check if the service is running or not and try changing the Startup type of the
service. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key
   + R, to open Run dialog box.
   
2. Type services.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Scroll down, look for Intel Rapid Storage Technology, right click on it and select
   Properties.
   
4. Select Automatic from the drop down for
   Startup type.
   
5. Click on Start to start the service and click on
   OK.
   

If changing the Startup type didn’t help, you can try installing the latest

Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers.




You may also check the AHCI settings in BIOS.



Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.



Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Intel Rapid Storage Technology Failure - Platform Not Supported

I've been trying to install Intel Rapid Storage Technology.

My boot drive is an Intel 750 series NVMe 400GB

Motherboard is a Gigabyte X99P-SLI

My OS is Win 10 64 bit v 1703, build 15063.413

There is a switch in the BIOS labelled "Intel Rapid Storage Tech", but I don't think the drivers are present. I turned it on but it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I searched through the motherboard installation CD and found drivers for IRST, which
I though might be what I was looking for. As it turned out, this was Intel's "Rapid Start Technology" (you'd think they could have come up with names that wouldn't be abbreviated in such a similar way!). That certainly burst my hope bubble in a heartbeat!!

Also, if I look into Program Files (x86)/Intel, I should see Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology on the list. It's not there.

Today, I downloaded the installation file "SetupRST.exe" for Windows 10 64 bit from Intel's website. When I run it, I receive the error message: Intel Rapid Storage Technology Failure - Platform Not Supported

Could I get some help with this please

Thanks
