Notes:  

1.    Known Issue is defined as a potential RST issue that has been replicated internally by the Rapid Storage Technology team but has not been root caused to be an RST defect.

2.    The RAID OROM & UEFI version for this release is 13.0.0.2075, the driver and user interface version is 13.0.0.1098.

3.    RST 13.0 release enables support for

·         Intel® 9 series chipset (Haswell refresh desktop platform).

·         Haswell H Mobile Refresh (2 chip) – C stepping (no support for Intel® RST PCIe Storage).

·         Support for PCIe AHCI Storage devices with RST in RAID mode (no Legacy OROM support).

·         Support for 16GB minimum cache requirement for SRT “Dual Drive SSD cache”.

·         Dynamic SSD cache sharing with Intel® Rapid Start Technology.

·         Support for 8GB minimum cache requirement for SSHD

4.    Support for PCIe NVMe Storage devices will be enabled in 13.1 RST release.

5.    13.0 UEFI utilities will require UEFI shell 1.0 to run. Support for UEFI shell 2.0 will be added in 13.1.

6.    Due to Dynamic Storage Accelerator feature being enabled by default it might work on unsupported platforms and we recommend to disable it in the BIOS.

7.    No RST support for PCIe storage devices enabled in AHCI mode.
