Zitat von kmax im Beitrag #15
Fernando, can you advise which ones are the most recent and suitable roms?

To be honest I don't know, which Intel AHCI and RAID ROM versions are the latest suitable for an old Intel ESB2 Chipset.
There are probably no newer Intel AHCI and RAID ROM modules available for the "Intel(R) ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller" (DEV_2681) and the "Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller" (DEV_2682) of your system than those, which are within your mainboard BIOS.
Please extract them from your BIOS and have a look onto their versions.
Additionally I would like to know, with which mode ("RAID" or "AHCI") your Intel SATA ports are running.

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, System Drive: 500 GB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win10 x64 Pro

Thank you for your quick reply, Fernando. Unfortunately, I've run into another problem. I tried to run all the bios tools you mentioned to find detailed information about the currently installed roms. Neither of the tools is able to open my bios file. The Bios in the setup utility calls itself HP Bios Utility. It seems to be in a format incompatible to AMI/Award/Phoenix. The machine is an old HP Workstation. So then there is probably no way of updating the rom either.

However, I can make the bios display ahci rom information during post.
Version iSrc 1.17_D 03112008

So you could tell me whether an updated rom exists, in case I ever find a tool that can handle my bios file.
I would intend to run the SATA ports in AHCI non-Raid mode.
