For custom desktops built on ASUS motherboards, the storage and chipset drivers, including any RAID support, come from the ASUS support page for that exact board. These drive the board's SATA and NVMe controllers and enable array configurations. Download the chipset or storage package listed for your specific model, since board families can differ in the controllers they use.

DriverHub US does not host driver files or bundle an updater. This page documents the ASUS motherboard storage/chipset driversfamily; its citations are selected from the package-source policy recorded for this family.
The family record names the matched device publisher as the package source. Match the package to the exact ASUS motherboard storage/chipset drivers device signals on this page and to Windows 10, Windows 11. A family name alone is not enough when the publisher separates packages by model, hardware revision, or PC configuration.
For desktop boards; download the chipset/storage package listed for your exact model.
Shared identification, preparation, installation, verification, and rollback procedures are maintained on the complete storage & nvme guide, rather than repeated on every family page. The citations below follow this family’s declared vendor, Windows, PC-maker, or motherboard-maker source policy.
These links go directly to the named publisher. Check the domain, exact model, Windows version, and package details before installing.

Samsung
This optional driver targets Samsung's consumer NVMe SSDs, the M.2 sticks in the 970, 980, and 990 lines, and can refine power management on those drives. Many systems run these drives perfectly well on the built-in Windows NVMe driver, so it is an optional install rather than a requirement. Firmware for the drive is applied separately through Samsung's own management software, not this driver.
Western Digital
This entry covers Western Digital and SanDisk SSDs, including the WD Blue and WD Black SN lines used in laptops and desktops. Most of these drives operate on the standard Windows NVMe driver, so the real value is the WD dashboard, which reports health and applies firmware. Use that tool for status and firmware rather than expecting a separate operating driver.
Seagate
Seagate makes both hard drives and SSDs across lines like BarraCuda, IronWolf, and FireCuda, found in desktops, NAS units, and gaming builds. These drives generally use the built-in Windows drivers to operate, while Seagate's toolkit handles firmware and health monitoring. Reach for the toolkit to check a drive's condition or apply firmware; day-to-day operation needs no special driver.
Kingston
Kingston's SSDs span value NV, mainstream KC, and performance Fury lines in both NVMe and SATA form. They run on the standard Windows NVMe or SATA driver, so no vendor operating driver is normally needed. Kingston's SSD management utility is where you check firmware and drive health, and it is the correct tool when a firmware update is called for.
Intel
Intel Rapid Storage Technology is the controller driver for SATA and NVMe drives on Intel chipsets, and it is what enables RAID and rapid-storage features on those platforms. It matters most when you run an array or a caching configuration. On a laptop or prebuilt PC, prefer the OEM's packaged version of this driver, since it is validated for your exact system rather than being a generic build.
Intel
On some newer Intel platforms a controller mode called Volume Management Device sits in front of the NVMe drives, and Windows cannot see those disks unless this driver is present. That is why the Windows installer sometimes shows no drives until the VMD driver is loaded from a USB stick. OEM systems ship a matched version, so obtain it from your PC maker for your exact model.
