We recommend to use the following drivers for the respective hard disk controller, RAID controller, motherboard chipset or listed hardware device. These may be not the most recent versions of the drivers, but they were tested either by us or reported by most users as actually working, meaning that they do allow getting complete hard disk status information and they do enable important disk features, as e.g. TRIM on SSD drives. Different versions from the ones listed here _might_ work on your system, but usually they have been found to be quite buggy and therefore we do not recommend their use.
The following drivers are tested and recommended to use for the appropriate hard disk controller, RAID controller, motherboard chipset or related hardware device to get complete hard disk status information:

Note that all hard disk controllers provide hard disk status information in single/standalone mode only unless RAID mode is listed for the appropriate hard disk controller (RAID controller).
Note: the firmware update for ASMedia ASM1051 USB3.0 bridge may work with enclosures, adapters based on this chip to get the missing status information. Not recommended for SIIG JU-SA0212-S1 as the device does not work with the new firmware.
Please check back for new, updated, tested and verified drivers for different disk controllers.
In some situations, the newest (most recent) drivers may not be working correctly, in this case the updated version is not listed and you should select a driver from this list.
