Subject: Drivers for a disk drive
On my D975xbx2 motherboard system, I look in device manager under disk
drives and it lists 4 drives listed below

Intel SSDSA2CW120G3 AS MY C: DRIVE
Intel SSDSA2M040G2GC AS MY L: DRIVE
Seagate ST3160811AS ATA Device
Seagate ST3160811AS ATA Device

All these drives are showing with the same Microsoft driver version of
6.1.7600.16385 dated 6/21/2006.

Stupid question but is that normal or should I be using a Intel driver here?

Under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers I have listed below
ATA channel 0
ATA channel 0
ATA channel 1
All with the same Microsoft driver version 6.1.7601.17514
Should it not be a Intel driver?

Below that is Intel(R)ICH7 Family ultra ATA storage controllers-27df

That is a Intel driver dated 8/5/2009 with a version 9.1.1.1016 not sure
about a update.

Below that is a Intel(R)N10/ICH7 family serial ATA storage controller-27c0

That is a Intel driver dated 8/5/2009 and version 9.1.1.1016 once again
not sure about a update

All these do not seem right as there must be a newer driver but am I
looking for a storage controller driver or chipset driver? and as for
the disk drive drivers should there not be a Intel driver?

I only use a vendor's driver with RAID systems that can't see the drives
without a driver. Otherwise, I prefer the MS built in driver whenever
possible.

The Intel drivers for your board are at
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng. Search for
Intel Desktop Board D975XBX2 there. The RST drivers support AHCI and RAID.

Newer Intel driver versions, not official for your board but probably
slightly better, can be found at http://www.station-drivers.com/.
