Intel在数年前发布ICH6R南桥时就一同推出了Matrix Storage Manager驱动，伴随着之后ICH7R、ICH8R、ICH9R、ICH10R等芯片组的陆续发布，老当益壮的Matrix驱动便一直跟随并沿用至今。转眼已是5个年头，Matrix也到了该升级换代的时候，这次Intel为下一代南桥驱动起了个新名字，由原先的Matrix Storage Manager改为Rapid Storage Technology（快速存储技术）。

目前Intel官方主页上提供的RST版本是今年3月份发布的9.6.0.1014，而今天网上泄漏出一款全新版本10.0.0.1046，虽然不是Intel正式发布的版本，但此驱动也通过了微软WHQL认证，在性能和稳定性方面有所保障，Intel芯片组用户可以下载升级。
