[Compaq 610, P/N: NX550EA#ACB] Latest driver for the SATA AHCI controller for Win 7 PRO SP1 RUS x64.

[Tianuchka]

Hello, world!

Could anyone, please, tell me, why there is no SATA AHCI controller driver for Compaq 610 for Win 7 PRO SP1 RUS x64 in the download section of HP Support for the Compaq 610? 

01) Where can I get the latest version of the SATA AHCI controller driver for Compaq 610 for Win 7 PRO SP1 RUS x64?

02) Will the original Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager V8.9.0. 1023 replace the "Standart controller AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA (Microsoft)" (v. 6.1.7601.18231 from 21.06.2006) with the newest/latest version?

03) Will the SATA AHCI driver update improve my HDD's write/read speed by any percentage or this idea is a nonsense and absolutely useless?

I'll be very thankfull for any usefull info! With great respect, Tianuchka ))

Hi:

I would use this one from HP...the description tells you what it does.

The HP 6910p has the same controller and chipset as the HP 610.

That answers your first 2 questions.

As for the 3rd, I do not know if you will notice any improvement or not.

If you want to update the driver, you can also install the latest Intel chipset installation utility from the link below.

Download, unzip and run the setup.exe file.  Then restart the PC.
