I am having this issue with a WD Black 2TB WDC WD2003FZEX-00SRLA0 drive on a 170x Gigabyte Gaming 5 rev. 1.1 motherboard. I built three of these systems in August of last year, and it’s happening on all 3 systems. They all Boot fine, but on restart the drive disappears.
It started sometime after the Creator Update. One machine, this one, has had a BIOS update done, firmware updated, AHCI driver updated, and nothing fixes it. None of the settings were changed in BIOS. When it happens, if I restart the drive is gone from BIOS. I shut off the machine, turn it back on, the drive appears in BIOS in the wrong boot order.
I fix it, save it, and it’s fine again until I need to restart. If I simply power off and turn it on, it’s fine.
There are no SMART errors, no difference in performance. I put a ticket in to WD, who advised that my BIOS settings must be wrong. I explained in my initial ticket that this thread existed. I think it’s strange that all 3 systems have this issue, and all three systems were working fine for nearly a year. I hope something can be done. I have also put in a ticket to Gigabyte, and am still waiting to hear from them. I have tried enabling hot swap on the drive, and for the first time in weeks restarted normally!
Please fix this! I did try the newest Intel RST, and that did not fix the issue. Interestingly enough, I came across a Reddit post that said to try restarting in safe mode and then restart again normally. Lo and behold it fixes the issue completely.
I don’t know why or how, but it works. Something seems to cause UEFI to go into default mode, and it has happened on all of our computers. Sometimes it happens after a Windows 10 update. Resetting the UEFI to appropriate settings, sometimes brings back the restart problem, and then booting into safe mode fixes it again. If there is a registry fix, yes I’d like to see that too. I had same problem on ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 Motherboard. Only helped to turn off PC and reconect SATA Cable.
Before that I had WD Blue he didn’t make problem but that was SATA II AAKS. Solution is to uninstall IRST Driver. After that problems gone. MS Driver is newer, and you will not recognize difference. I strong believe in WD HDD and I want to send them message to continue with their quality products.
WD now launched two models WD Black with 256MB, they are probably better optimized with last Windows 10 Updates and probably firmware is better. FZEX is 5-6 years old and still is top performance. WD Black WD4005FZBX 4TB WD Black WD6003FZBX 6TB Same as Gold series 8-10-12TB with 256MB. Soon I will upgrade little capacity from 2003FZEX to WD4005FZBX and choose one WD My Passport Ultra 2017 2TB 13.5mm size. Together they are cheaper than 1TB USB 3.1 My Passport. Only WD need 2TB 2.5' WD Black 7mm.

Hi @ll, the executable installer of the Intel(r) Rapid Storage Technology (Intel(r) RST) User Interface and Driver, version 15.9.0.1015 (LATEST for Windows 7), released, available from via is (SURPRISE!) vulnerable! CVSS score: 7.5/HIGH CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H See Intel's security advisory SA-00153 Vulnerability #1: Although running with ELEVATED (administrative) privileges (the 'application manifest' embedded in SetupRST.exe specifies 'requireAdministrator'), on STANDARD installations of Windows, i.e. Where the user account created during Windows setup is used, the executable installer creates an UNPROTECTED subdirectory IIF.tmp in the user's%TEMP% directory. For this well-known and well-documented vulnerability see and plus The subdirectory IIF.tmp inherits the NTFS ACLs from its parent%TEMP%, allowing 'full access' for the unprivileged (owning) user, who can replace/overwrite the DLLs%TEMP% IIF.tmp Resource.dll%TEMP% IIF.tmp??-?? IntelCommon.dll later loaded and executed by the installer between their creation and use.
Since these DLLs are executed with administrative privileges, this vulnerability results in arbitrary code execution WITH escalation of privilege. NOTE: the precondition 'user account created during Windows setup' is met on typical installations of Windows: according to Microsoft's own security intelligence reports, about 1/2 to 3/4 of the about 600 million Windows installations which send telemetry data have only ONE active user account. Demonstration/proof of concept: 1. Visit, then download and save it in an arbitrary directory; 2. Save the following batch script in the same directory: - IIF.CMD -:WAIT @If Not Exist '%TEMP% IIF????tmp' Goto:WAIT For /D%%! In ('%TEMP% IIF????tmp') Do Set IIFTMP=%%! Copy /Y SENTINEL.DLL '%IIFTMP% Resource.dll' For /R '%IIFTMP%'%%!

In (IntelCommon.dll) Do Copy /Y SENTINEL.DLL '%%!' Set IIFTMP= - EOF - 3. Start the batch script per double-click; 4. Execute SetupRST.exe: notice the message boxes displayed from the replaced DLLs. Fixes: 1.

ALWAYS specify a PROPER 'security descriptor' when you create (temporary) files or directories in potentially unsafe (i.e. User-writable) paths like the%TEMP% directory! See and use the second parameter of CreateDirectory to properly restrict the permissions when running elevated! NEVER load resource(-only) DLLs for execution! See and use the third parameter of LoadLibraryEx to specify LOADLIBRARYASDATAFILE or LOADLIBRARYASIMAGERESOURCE Mitigations: 1. DONT use executable installers; stay far away from such eternally vulnerable crap!
NEVER run executable installers in unsafe environments, especially NEVER from UNSAFE directories like '%TEMP% ' or '%USERPROFILE% Downloads ' 3. DISABLE execution of files (via NTFS ACL, as shown below) in the systems and every users%TEMP% and every%USERPROFILE% (see )!
Practice STRICT privilege separation: use a your privileged 'Administrator' account (especially the account created during Windows setup) ONLY for administrative tasks, and COMPLETELY separate unprivileged user accounts, with elevation requests DISABLED, for your everyday/regular work. Vulnerability #2: A variant of #1, resulting in denial of service. Demonstration/proof of concept: 1. Add the NTFS access control list entry (D;OIIO;WP;;;WD) meaning 'deny execution of files in this directory for everyone, inheritable to all subdirectories' to the (user's)%TEMP% directory. NOTE: this does NOT need administrative privileges! Execute SetupRST.exe: notice the message box 'error loading language resource' displayed. Fix: Create (temporary) files and directories with PROPER permissions!
