HDD temp detection is slower in IRST 10 Drivers

[Squall Leonhart]

I've noticed both in the previous everest and current AIDA64, that the latest intel storage drivers are causing the temp sensors to take longer to show up in Aida64(watching the LCD panel).

Could be related to the SMART improvements that are rumoured to be in the driver, but was thinking maybe there was some way you could speed it up?.

Please let us know more abuot your system:

1) Windows variant? 32-bit or 64-bit kernel?

2) Intel storage drivers version?

3) Disk drives configuration? Any RAID arrays defined?

4) AIDA64 version and build number?

Thanks,

1) Windows variant? 32-bit or 64-bit kernel?

Windows 7 x64

2) Intel storage drivers version?

10.0.0.1046 WHQL, 10.0.0.1043 Beta, ICH10R (x58)

3) Disk drives configuration? Any RAID arrays defined?

3 Sata II drives in AHCI, no raid.

1 External via USB (detected instantly)

4) AIDA64 version and build number?

Extreme Edition 1.00.1123beta

I experienced this under Everest Ultimate v5.50.2253beta as well after installing the ISRT 10.1043 beta drivers, and it continues in whql drivers under AIDA64.

The strange thing is, that the smart information is available immediately including the Temperature value.

If i disable Low Level Smart access, the sensors are visible from the start, but the value for the External drive is gone.

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1158cbv3slyk8nzip

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

Let me know if it helps.

BTW, the slowness was due to a bug in Intel's Rapid Storage Technology drivers. We've already notified Intel about this issue.

Thanks,
