If you’re looking to download and update the driver for your Intel RAID controller, you’re in the right spot. Updating the driver isn’t as difficult as it sounds. With our step-by-step guide, you’ll be able to update the driver easily and quickly.

How to update the Intel RAID driver

There are two ways for you to update the Intel RAID driver, and you can choose one you prefer.

Option 1 – Manually – You’ll need some computer skills and patience to update your driver this way, because you need to find the exactly right driver online, download it and install it step by step.

OR

Option 2 – Automatically (Recommended) – This is the quickest and easiest option. It’s all done with just a couple of mouse clicks – easy even if you’re a computer newbie.

Option 1 – Download and install the driver manually

Intel keeps updating drivers, so you should go straight to its support website if you want the latest RAID controller driver. You can follow the steps below to update the driver manually:

  1. Go to Intel download center.
  2. Type raid controller in the search box, and press Enter.
  3. On the left pane, select your operating system.
  4. Click the driver you need and download it.

Once you’ve downloaded the correct driver for your system, double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

This process is a bit technically inclined. So if you want a simpler method, check out the second option to update the driver automatically.

Why do you need to update the RAID driver

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, which allows individual drives to work together as a single larger drive. The RAID controller plays a role in managing the RAID array. If your RAID driver fails to work properly, you may encounter booting problems or other troubles that can even cause data loss. Therefore, it’s important to keep the RAID driver up to date.
