Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST-VMD)

Hello, 

I have VMD Controllers 9A0B and 09AB inside. Also Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management Component.

For now I use RST-Driver 20.2.4.1019.4 for all 3 Components.

The newest drivers 20.2.8.1028.1 will also work, but there is no driver for VMD-Controller 9AB0.

So the question is: Is it recommended to use different drivers, for the different VMD-Conrollers?

VMD 9A0B - 20.2.4.1019.4
VMD 09AB - 20.2.8.1028.1
Intel Optane - 20.2.8.1028.1

Hi. It depends on the package whether it supports everything or not.
Normally, the latest version should support the latest chipsets, right?

Avoid the different versions; instead, choose the one that supports everything, otherwise the Manager might not like it.

I presume you mean 9A0B thats Tiger Lake

They dropped support in 20.x.x.x for Tiger Lake and it seems they accidently released it in the inf on 20.2.4.1019
no build of 20.x.x..x before or after has had Tiger Lake support
