Known compatibility issues with Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) are listed below. These issues have been investigated and Intel has determined the root cause is not Intel® RST.
APC PowerChute* Business Edition
Description:
If you enable the RAID 5 write-back cache and use the PowerChute software to manage your UPS device, Intel® RST is not notified of a transition to battery power. The cache is not flushed and disabled, and data integrity is not maintained during a power loss.
Solution:
For data integrity during a transition to DC power, we recommend you uninstall the PowerChute software and allow the Microsoft* battery driver to manage the UPS device.
Platforms affected: All

Hitachi* Serial ATA Hard Drives with 3.0Gb/s transfer speeds
Description:
If you receive the error code (STOP: 0x0000007a) during a Microsoft Windows XP* install with Hitachi hard drives, the transfer speeds of the hard drive(s) may be set to 1.5 Gb/s instead of 3.0 Gb/s.
Solution:
Use the Hitachi Feature Tool* utility to set the transfer speeds of the hard drive(s) to 3.0 Gb/s and enable Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC).
Note: This issue should no longer occur starting with Intel® Matrix Storage Manager version 5.1, even if the transfer speeds are set to 1.5 Gb/s
