Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST)
The Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel RST) Driver enables and enhances high-performance SATA/NVMe RAID capabilities for supported operating systems. The IRST software package provides added protection against data loss in the event of a hard-drive failure, and supports the configuration of multiple features, including:
- Configuration and maintenance of RAID 0/1
- Intel VMD support from 11th Generation platforms (see How to Configure RAID or Intel Optane Memory with Intel RST on an Intel VMD Capable Platform).
The following conditions must be met before you can install IRST on your computer.
- Your computer has a RAID I/O controller hub (ICH). If your computer does not have a RAID ICH, you cannot install IRST unless a third-party RAID controller card is installed.
- Your RAID controller is enabled by default.
CAUTION:If an operating system is already installed, changing the SATA/NVMe settings in the BIOS Setup may cause your computer to display a blue screen and an error code, followed by a system reboot. To change settings, reinstall the operating system.
