[Request] TRIM in RAID0 for the Asus Rampage II Extreme Bios 2101

Hello everyone, new here. Fernando posted a modded 2101 bios on the German site. I downloaded & extracted it to discover there's an error in the packaging of the compressed file when extracted. Does anyone happen to have a good copy of the 2101 modded bios? and which Intel RST drivers should I use with it. Trying to get trim for Raid 0 with 2 Corsair Neutron GTX 240's
Thank you

EDIT by Fernando: Since this thread has much more to do with the topic "BIOS Modding" than with the topic "Storage Drivers", I have moved it here and gave it a more meaningful title.

Maybe I will be able to find the source file, if you give me the link where you downloaded it.

@ Roomraider:

Here is the link to the requested file: ~~http://1drv.ms/1nL9Uk5~~
You may flash the BIOS at your own risk.

Thank you again sir for your help. I installed this bios & still no trim in raid 0. I've been reading a lot here about the universal bios mod. Due to my lack of comprehension in this area, I'm not able to mod my bios & would be willing to compensate with a nice donation for a modded bios that will pass trim for my v2101 bios & proper rst driver version.

Are you sure, that TRIM is not active within your RAID0? It is not easy to detect low TRIM activity.
Have you triggered TRIM, before you have done the test? Have you tried the manual TRIM test?
Which RAID driver are you using?

TrimCheck Tool v0.5 = trim is not active, multiple 20 second tries. Intel Rapid Storage Driver_12.9.0.1001
I did notice after the bios update that none of my bios settings changed.

Please try the manual TRIM test.

What do you mean? The minimum change should be, that the Intel SATA Controller setting is not "RAID" anymore, because this is not the DEFAULT setting.

This is what I mean, after the bios update, none of the settings went back to default.

In this case I suspect, that the BIOS flashing failed.
You can easily verfy it by hitting CTRL+I while booting. If you still get the Intel MSM RAID Utility v8.0.0.1038, the old BIOS 2101 is still active.
I recommend to clear CMOS and to retry the flashing procedure from DOS (not from within Windows).

Did you reflash the BIOS and did you recreate the RAID array?
Is TRIM working within your RAID0 array? If not, you may try >this< BIOS, which contains the "Universal TRIM modified" Intel RAID ROM v11.2.0.1527.

Did not re-flash bios, just checked the Intel Raid Rom as you suggested. Still no trim being passed. I will now try the new bios.

Please wait!
I have to check the BIOS again.
EDIT: The BIOS is ok. You should be able to flash it.

Loaded bios w/v11.2.0.1527, goes into black screen after "del" command. After re-boot, still no bios access. Cleared cmos, re-loaded 10.1.0.1008, back up & running, but no trim.
