13.2.0.2134 working perfectly on ASUS P8P67 Mainboard. thanks fernando

13.2.0.2134 working fine on Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe. Writing seems slow in Raid 0 840 Pro...

Hey guys new user here. My boy SkOrPn sent me here. I recently purchased 2 SSDs for RAID 0 [Intel SATA II \ ICH10R] I noticed the read and write performance drops the first and second day. The only way I can get TRIM is single-non RAID SSD setup. TRIM appears to be working in AHCI mode fine. but I need it to work in RAID mode [BIOS]. Actually Trim appeared to be working after using the trim check and running a few more test, but tram appeared to have stopped working. My HDDs in RAID 0 are more consistent in ATTO Benchmark than my SSDs sadly.

So I've never used any of these BIOS mods at all. I'd really like the flash my BIOS before setting up my SSD RAID 0 again and installing Windows 7. I'm planning to run my HDD RAID through Intel RST.
I'm gonna need you guys to tell me exactly what to do. I'd like to get this right the first time. I'm running the latest official BIOS....Direct Link:

if some could help me ASAP it would be greatly appreciated. I'm not using my PC until I get RAID 0 and TRIM running together. I'd like to use RST version 13.1.0.1058 or RST ver. 12.9.0.1001. IF anyone have any recommendation I'd like to here them. Here are my basic specs:

Rig:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth X58
CPU: X5660 @ 4.8Ghz highest OC 5.4Ghz
RAM: 12GB
SSD x2
HDD x4

Edit: I'll also be sure to post my results and comparisons with and without TRIM if everything goes well.

I just noticed that I misspelled 'hear' lol. Thanks for the info. I'll get around to attempting this when I get home from work. I'll also get the Universal v11.2.0.1527 ROM and download Intel RST version v11.2.0.1006 from the Intel website as you have recommended. Should I get the RST OR RST(e) program. I know in one of those Intel RST versions I couldn't setup my HDD RAID through the RST program. Is it possible in ver. 11.2.0.1527? Otherwise I suppose I could setup my HDD RAIDs through the Intel hardware RAID instead of Intel RST software.

Ok so I applied the ROM and modded my BIOS. Flashed the BIOS with the mod and setup RAID 0 with my SSDs. Ran the Trim check tool. It appears that he mod is not working. Sometimes I'll get a Indeterminate result. Even after restarting the computer it is still not working. I suppose I could try another mod right?

I believe I am indeed using Sandforce. I'll double check. I missed "Anvil's Storage Utilities" so I'll check that out after work. I pulled off a little trick and individually ran the SSDs with TRIM while separated while running RAID Mode [bios]. I tested both drives separately while the BIOS was in RAID mode. Both drives have the latest updates and TRIM worked perfectly. The moment I built a RAID array [0], the TRIM function stopped functioning.

So I'll double check everything and try Anvil's Storage Utilities.

Thanks again.

Hey Fernando I tried again and it seems TRIM isn't working. Actually Trimcheck tool said that TRIM was working, but only once. Other than that one time it hasn't worked. I've tried the Fernando and hex viewers as well. I'll keep trying.

If the tool ever detects TRIM activity within the RAID0 array (message: "TRIM appears to be WORKING"), you can be sure, that the TRIM command passes the Intel RAID Controller into the RAID0 array. That meand, that TRIM is working forever. The reason for your different results is, that there is not always enough TRIM activity within the RAID0 array for a detection by the tool (maybe caused by your specific SSD Controller).
