AMD SATA Controller drivers not installing?

erek · Nov 27, 2019

I'm noticing with the X570 Chipset drivers that the AMD SATA Controller drivers aren't being installed and leaving the Microsoft SATA Standard Controller drivers instead. I had to manually go into Device Manager and update each device. What do you all make of this? Should I have just left it go with the current logic of the installer?

My AMD ones are from 2015 from the latest x570 chipset driver

From experience, the SATA drivers never install. It's always using the default MS drivers from '06. Always have to manual update them. ASUS B350 btw

AMD no longer provides proprietary drivers for the SATA controller if it's running in AHCI mode. You use Microsoft's generic "Standard AHCI controller" drivers. AMD only provides drivers for the RAID mode.

Ditto USB controllers.

USB 2.0 and 3.0, but they have drivers for USB 3.1+ which are required.

Also NVMe drivers are Microsoft provided unless the drive manufacturer provides one, like Samsung.
There is a difference here with SATA tho cause the equivalent DATA protocol (PCIE) has no separate drivers than the chipset drivers, but still...

Even in your screenshot, the gen 2 controller is using a generic Microsoft driver. Here's mine:

I guess you're right, my X370 board had an AMD/ASMedia driver sure, but I guess that's not even the case any more...

My Asus ROG Strix X470-F uses ASmedia 3.1 USB Root Hub and USB 3.1 Extensible Host Controller drivers as well.
