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.

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.
