Asmedia Sata Controller Driver Do I Need It
Hi duncancroft,
Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.
Apart from the issue, how are you doing today?
You have an issue with the Asmedia ASM106x SATA Host Controller Driver missing after performing a “refresh” on Windows 8. This can be really frustrating for you and I appreciate the efforts that you have put in. Let us work together as a team and try to get this issue fixed.
Let us start with few questions-
1)What are the other programs uninstalled after a “refresh”?
2)Have you made any other changes on the computer apart from the issue?
I would like more information regarding the issue.
The other applications and programs would need to be reinstalled on the computer
Method –
I would have you download the drivers for the Asmedia host controller from the link-
Note: Installing the firmware is at your own risk. You may ask the manufacturer for assistance.
Do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help. We, at Microsoft strive towards excellence.
Thanks.
I'm fairly new to modding/ tweaking but not so bad with computers;
long story short I have an msi bix bang x-power ii mb in my workstation/ gaming system cross platform machine and I'm using all the SATA ports2- Intel SATA 64- Intel SATA 34- Asmedia SATA 6
I've successfully set up a 4- 1TB intel raid 0 on the SATA 3Gbs but I'm trying to set up a 2- Raptor 1TB Raid 0 on the asmedia SATA 6.
I've confirmed the driver is installed and read the asmedia Readme (says that my asmedia controller is configured as AHCI)
I'm booting my mb in RAID and there is no Bios changes from system to system only the OS drive gets changed; is it possible to set up a RAID 0 with Asmedia on AHCI.
Do I need additional software? Asmedia seems only to be a driver.
Thank you for your time.

No, they will not be RAIDed automatically. After inserting two disks, you will need to go into the IntelRST controller after the BIOS (I think it's Ctrl+I on most systems) and create a new RAID drive from them. RAID controllers usually detect disks by their serial number, so everything has to be specifically configured.

The only times you'll be hot-swapping them will be if a drive fails or if you intend to destroy the RAID array. If a drive fails, and you have redundancy (RAID1 or RAID5, which with two drives the only possible one is RAID1), you'll need to remove the bad drive, put in a new one of the same or larger size, and then open the IntelRST control panel and add the new drive as a hot spare to the RAID array. The drivers will take care of rebuilding the array from there.
If you're running RAID0 and a drive fails, you're out of luck. Replace the bad drive, add it to the array, and then format the array.
You already installed the driver for the asmedia card. After this you should be able to create a stripe using windows disk manager. No extra software is needed.
start, run, diskmgmnt.msc
This will open the following screen:
In the screenshot I only got the option to create a mirror since I already formatted the volume. However with a raw partition you should be able to set up a stripe.

Best of all, you do not need a special configuration for this. If you ever move your stripe to another computer (e.g. because the old one died) you can access the stripe from there.
