P.S. should v11.2.0.1527 work, would there be a benefit to going to an even newer version of a RAID ROM?
No, the Intel RST RAID driver/OROM combination v11.2.x.xxxx is the best you can get for your P45 RAID0 array.

So the last few days I have tried every combination of the modified RAID ROMs (8.5, 10.1, 10.5, 11.2) with the AHCI ROM that was embedded with the BIOS, without the AHCI ROM at all, and with AHCI ROM 1.20E that you have posted.

In the end, the "best" I could do with the modified 8.5 RAID ROM with the 1.20E AHCI ROM, everything else resulted in the PnP/PCI non compatible bios error during boot.

Using the modified 8.5 RAID ROM with Intel RST 11.2.0.1006 I've found to be the best combination, perhaps it's worth updating the motherboard results database?

Thanks again for your help!

Your results are already put into the BIOS modding success/failure table.
Thanks for having done all the tests and for your final report! This will help other users with a similar hardware configuration.

I'm updating this thread in case anyone comes across this through google. I did find another place to further improve my SSD performance, and that was through upgrading the firmware on my SSDs themselves. Not sure how I overlooked that step before, but in my case, I found a Crucial USB Image that I flashed, booted to my USB, hit go, and it went one by one through all my drives updating the firmware.

My result is now as follows:

For reference, the previous benchmark scores were:

Thanks for your contribution.
Due to your post I have just added the advice to flash an available newer/better SSD Firmware to the start post of >this< thread.
