Sata Raid Driver For Windows Xp
Plug in your 3124 by selecting it. NOTE: For some reason the page did not respond using I.E. So I used Firefox instead, not sure what was up with that.
I found Both 32 and 64 bit versions of 1.5.23.0 dated 4/23/2010 they may work. Checking further here NOTE: You must use I.E. For that link to work properly I found some drivers that Microsoft seem to think will work with 'Windows 7,Windows 8,Windows 8.1 and later' Have you tried simply using device manager, locating the problem device and then letting Windows Update, update the driver?

Click to expand.Thanks for the reply, here's a list of what I have done prior to posting on the forum and after your response. Gone into device manager, checked SATA controller, controller returns with Code 28, the drivers for the device are not installed, there are no compatible drivers for this device. Select update driver, search computer, Windows could not find driver software for your device. Select search the internet for drivers, Windows could not find driver software for your device.
Shut down computer, remove controller card, restart computer, return to device manager, scan for hardware changes, no changes found. Shut down computer, reinstall controller card, restart computer, return to device manager, scan for hardware changes, no changes found. Repeated steps 2 and 3. No drivers found. Used IE to searched ' IE returned 'To use this Web site's full functionality, you must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.'
(I'm using IE 11). Selected the update IE link provided, IE returned you have the current version of IE.
Reinstalled IE, got link to work, but now encounter about 20 popup errors asking me Do you want to allow software such as Active X controls and plug-ins to run, if answer yes on all of them the website returns a screen with a world and Microsoft Update Catalog and that's it, no links or data fields or other information. If you answer no website returns that the site requires Active X is enabled. Checked IE settings for Active X, Active X all settings are set properly for Active X to work properly. Downloaded Silicon Image driver 1.5.23.00, extracted files, went into device manager selected search my computer, selected proper extracted folder, selected ok, device manager returned Windows could not find driver software for your device.
Now I think I covered all the bases, Win10 doesn't want to cooperate for me on this one.
I recently upgraded my PC with new 6th gen Intel i7 with a newer motherboard (Gigabyte Z170-HD3P), which unfortunately, like most newer motherboards, has only 6 SATA internal connectors and none e-Sata connectors, so I had to buy an external add-on SATA controller in order to plug in my external HDDs. I bought the Silicon Image Sil 3132 controller and was happy to see that it was immediately seen by the motherboard and BIOS. Unfortunately, while Windows 10 recognized the controller, found the driver for it and reported that the device works correctly, when I plug my external HDDs, Windows 10 starts to choke and become unusable. When I unplug the HDDs, the performance comes back to normal.
After a lot of failed attempts (Flashing the BIOS to different versions Base, Sataraid 5 accordingly changing the drivers, using older drivers), unfortunately nothing worked. I also need to report that I have my motherboard's most recent BIOS version (F5) and all newest drivers for the rest of the hardware (which is mostly brand new), including Intel's chipset and Rapid Storage. This behavior reminded me of a driver issue I had with my old motherboard and its Marvell SATA controller when I had first upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7, and I had managed to solve it by using newest drivers. Unfortunately, there are no newer drivers for Sil 3132 from Silicon Image. I asked a question at Microsoft Community here: and they redirected me here. I've uploaded a WPT log file, following the steps described here: The link for the file is here: Is there any hope for me, or should I just quit trying to make this controller work?
I am willing to provide you with any additional information you'd like to help you pinpoint the problem. Thanks for your help. Hi Gpower2, To make a device work well, we should get compatible drivers. Please try to download the Windows 10 compatible drivers for those devices from the device manufacturer website(motherboard, hard drive, chipset). Based on EckiS`s analysis, we could try to perform a clean boot to have a troubleshoot.

Your logfile still contains disk access from mvraidsvc.exe, which is supposed to be a marvell service, although you are now using a SIL controller. Did you uninstall the marvell drivers? But then there is an UI delay by wsxservice.exe supposedly by 'Winstep Software Technologies'. After seeing processes like 'AAM Updates Notifier', 'AdjustService', 'AGSService' (this was only the ones beginning with 'A') I stopped investigating the logfile. Can you please please please test a clean install of Windows 10, without installing any Utilities, helpers, AV programs, firewalls and then test the performance again.

I had to buy a USB3 hub and new USB3 external HDD cases in order to use my HDDs. Perhaps you could try to create a WPT log file, following the steps described here: and upload it to OneDrive and post it here, in case some MS expert can pinpoint the problem. Just thought I would throw this in mix too. It is not confined to Win 10. I have Win 10 at home without esata, but have an si3132 card in a Server 2008R2, which does recognize both the r(raid) and b(base) versions of the drivers. I flashed the bios to latest using device manager, used pass-through, used striped with sataraid5 and all seems to work except PC starts bogging down and choking (as mentioned above).
During a copy, it would start fast and slow down to not copying at all. A small portion of files actually got transferred. Extreme delays doing simple tasks. All kinds of 9 and 11 events relating si3132 in Event Viewer. I have given up. I used this to replace an old Promise esata card which was slower (by specs), and now I ordered a.
We will see how that goes. So just wanted to put out there that it may not be a Windows 10 issue with this card. The motherboard was a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 with sata set to AHCI.
