Then remove stock software and drivers v3.7.3.1002, update with Intel RSTe Drivers & Software Set v11.7.4.1001 multilingual mod by Fernando


Then update bios with Intel_RSTe_RAID-ROM_v11.6.0.1702_mod_by_Fernando_for_X79 and reflash.


Speed definitely improves.
I will do trim checks soon. but expect it to work with the modded OROM and driver.

Next up is to flash the modded SATAdriver (E789_204sata3-7-0-1049 update) so I can do a UEFI install. I suppose I can just add it to the already modded rom?
Just getting ready for win 8.1. Does anyone know if this would benefit a win7 pro install?

BTW, samsung magician no longer recognizes the SSDs when they are in this RAID-0 array.
