1. DisableDeleteNotify = 0 was returned.

3. Tried the trim triggering mentioned, still didn't pass TrimCheck. During the trim triggering action, it gave a message of not all drives respond to trim command, i am not sure if that's referring to the raid0 drive of interest itself or just referring to other non-ssd drives in the system..

Usually the system drive (drive C:) is inside the RAID0 array (to get the best OS performance).
So you have to trigger TRIM on drive C. Drive C is the place, where you should copy the trimcheck.exe file and execute the Trim Check tool.

yes, drive C: is the OS drive.

I just did the Hxd jpeg method and it confirmed that Trim isn't working.

Do you mind double check the ROM was edited properly? ;)

Yes, I double checked it with an hex editor. The modded BIOS, which I had attached, contains definitively the TRIM in RAID0 modded Intel RST RAID ROM v11.2.0.1527.
Are you sure, that your Intel mainboard is now using the modded BIOS?

I am going to reflash the BIOS, I will go back to some old version of BIOS first then flash again with your mod'ed version just in case the flash step kept the original BIOS since the version number is identical.

Still no trim after reflashing the mod'ed BIOS.

Is there a way to read the ROM to confirm that proper value is in certain address/offset?

It would have been easier to verify the successful flash of the modded BIOS, if the Intel RAID ROM version would have been changed.

No, but it may be a good idea to clear the CMOS and to redo all BIOS settings.

clear the CMOS didn't help.

I have flashed the same version of the BIOS before using the mod'ed version that you have given me, so the RAID ROM version would have been the same. Is there a way to switch the RAID ROM to another version and then back to this version just to confirm the desired RAID ROM is indeed being used?

I double confirmed that I have flashed your mod'ed BIOS properly: I flashed previous version 42 and booted up fine, then I flashed your mod'ed BIOS again which is based on version 43, booted up fine and BIOS version shown as 43, so that's no doubt that the mod'ed BIOS is being flashed, but still no trim.

Yes, that is strange, because the TRIM modded Intel RAID ROM v11.2.0.1527 worked for all other users.
And you are sure, that your SSDs do support TRIM?

yes, the SSD supports Trim, I just moved from a gigabyte p67 mobo, and Trim worked there in raid0 via a mod'ed BIOS.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Another idea would be to insert another version of the TRIM in RAID0 modded Intel RAID ROMs into your BIOS and to try that version. This way we can be sure, that the mainboard really has taken and using the modded BIOS.

Sure, I was wondering if you could put another version other than .1527 for me to try. For now, I have confirmed that 1527 is being used via CTRL-I during boot.

Ok, I will do it for you and replace the original Intel RAID ROM v11.2.01527 by the TRIM modded v12.9.0.2006.

@ seeking123:

Maybe I have detected the reason why you haven't yet gotten TRIM in RAID0 support with the BIOS I had modded for you yesterday:

After having done a deeper look into the modded Intel BIOS by checking the GUID of all included modules, I found out, that the GUID E8441378-54D5-4D9D-B238-82343E6BA581 was listed twice at different locations. One of them was modded, the other not.
As a consequence I have done the TRIM in RAID0 modification with the other Intel RAID ROM module and saved the freshy modded BIOS.
At the end I extracted both modules and compared them with an hex editor. Both are modded and absolutely identical now.

Please flash the attached re-modded BIOS containing the TRIM modded Intel RAID ROM v11.2.0.1527 and report, if TRIM is working now.

Good luck!

EDIT: The attachment has been removed by me.
