You should install the “Intel Rapid Storage Technology” driver and the “Gigabyte SATA2 Driver” listed on that page. Your board has two controllers. One is the the native Intel controller inside the P55 chipset and the other is a separate add-on Gigabyte chip.
Also, make sure your recording drive is on the Intel controller. It should be clear from your board manual which ports belong to which controller. It is probably also indicated in silk on the board. The reason for this suggestion is that the Intel controller is much more widely used than the Gigabyte one. I have no reason to believe the Gigabyte chip is an underperformer, but for now, it is probably best to eliminate that variable.
