Option ROM Information for Intel® RAID Controller Hub
The option ROM manages Serial ATA hard drives and RAID volumes that are attached to an Intel® RAID Controller hub before the operating system loads.
The option ROM is integrated with the system BIOS on all motherboards with a supported Intel® chipset and Intel® RAID Controller hub.
It's okay to upgrade to a newer version of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)—for example, v10.1—if you have an older version of the option ROM—for example, v9.6—installed. The option ROM version doesn't need to match the version of Intel RST.
| Note | The functionality with Intel® Optane™ memory is only supported on Windows 10 and Windows 11. |
