If it's a card like mine then it's a SATA3 PCIe x4 form factor card but in reality it only uses 2 lanes so it's a "PCIe x2". It will give you 30% improvement over your onboard SATA2 if you have PCIe2 slots. It will give you great results if you already have PCIe3(in fact, an x1 card would give you great results, but you would probably already have SATA3 onboard so you wouldn't need the card), and it will give you NO performance improvement over SATA2 if your computer has the PCIe1 slots. It comes down to simple math. Check out this post: http://www.overclock.net/t/1489684/ssd-i...express-vs-sata

I m having this CRITICAL PROCESS DIED problem on my pc

here's the thing now
i does as this website said
http://www.deskdecode.com/critical-process-died/
and now my system wont able to start
what to do now does anybody knows something

where to get the latest official firmware for this chip? thanks.

Hello !

I have found new rom 3.80 for asm1061 with spi 25x4005l !

I tried it in my pci e asmedia card.
from 3.70 to 3.80
It works it is the ahci mode for the 1061 chipset.

I have found the same firmware/bios on this page
AHCI & RAID ROM Modules (60)

Attached in this post too for convenient BUT they look different as their md5sum is not the same
this one's
33f8a6f0c1e13105648c6c811045014f 1B21-0612 ASMedia AHCI 3.80.bin
the one posted by braza is
1652fbacfa02aac390648ecd489aabfb 1B21-0612 ASMedia AHCI 3.80.bin
What gives? O.o

hello.

One is for motherboard bios with included rom.

and my rom is for pci express card with some header more, for BOOT !

Hi,

I have a motherboard type Asus P5Q Deluxe and a SATA III 2-Lane PCI-e 2.0 x4 card made by SYBA (http://bit.ly/2g7LItJ). This card is installed into a PCI-e 2.0 x16 slot. BIOS version of the card is 0.951 . My SSD is a Samsung 850 Pro. I installed the most recent driver for Windows 10 Pro (x64). The benchmark is atatched.



It seems not good, is it not? What can I do for the higher performance??

Thanks,
Robert

Ok, I did reading all this topic about ASM106X. And I have some questions to Fernando, as I understand there are two ASmedia firmwares one for the chip based on PCIe cards and another for internal mobo chips, the OROM module firmware is for mobos, and the complete package firmware (with included header) for PCIe cards, right. Does this mean that we can mod these firmwares (removing the header) to adapt them to mobo's OROM modules?. Also, I know that the chips on PCIe cards have a SPI flash, does the mobo version chip has SPI too?. If so, can we update this SPI firmware even the OROM module is already installed in the mobo's bios?. I tell you this, because I plan to test it using SPIUPD.exe with the latest 1.5.0.xx.xx firmware from Station-Drivers.com even I have installed the ver. 3.80 OROM in my Bios.

Thank you!!



PD: Ok, I have tested and confirm that mobo's chips don't have flash SPI, the ASmedia flash update tool didn't find it. So, another questions remain, is it posible to mod the latest firmware for pcie cards (128kb) reducing its size (64kb) to accommodate as OROM into the Bios?, Could this method works?, Is the header the only thing you have to remove to fit it as OROM?...

This is for Lordkag & Braza: Can you explain how to remove the header from a pcie card firmware to convert it to a reduced size OROM file?. I'd like to try this experiment, as I saw some firmwares and OROM files with the same version (0.951, 3.80), the only difference is its size and the header right. I plan to convert the lastest firmware 150910_00_00_00 to OROM and insert it into my Bios, and see how it goes. If this goes well, this could be the lastest firmware for mobo's chips based on ASmedia 106x.


Thank you!!


PS: I compared both versions of ASMedia 106x 3.80 OROM & Firmware (for pcie cards), and learned where the header is located and how to remove it. Then I tried to truncate the file to 37KB (actual size 128KB), but I can't because I remove part of the code inside this module. The maximum size I reached is reduced to 98KB due this module also supports RAID. Anyway using the ASUS flashback is a secure method to test this module with modded bios, I think I have enough space to insert this module in my bios (even 98KB). Probably, after this mod I can select between AHCI, IDE, and RAID mode using the ASmedia sata ports (it would be great!!), but if it has a RAID utility I don't know it's activated after selecting RAID mode in bios. Anyway I'll let you know the results of my experiment soon...

I need to backup the firmware of my PCIe ASM-1061 add-on card, but I haven't found informations about it; the firmware flash tool (106spi.exe) allows only to update the ROM but not to save it on a backup file.
There's a way to do it?
