So no way to update the UEFI raid part in BIOS?

---

It is very easy to update the Intel EFI RAID module by using the UBU tool or by doing it manually with the AMI Aptio UEFI MMTool, but you obviously haven't done it.

Just wanted to note that the Intel RST 14.0.0.xxxx firmware caused a weird warning in the RST 14.0.0.1095 application that my drives may be at risk but after updating the Intel firmware to the 14.5s the message went away. Anyone else notice that?

Thanks

@ davidm71:
Thanks for your interesting report.
Questions: Which Intel Chipset and which sort of RAID array has your system (the creation of a signature would be fine)?

Did you try the Intel RST Drivers & Software Set v14.0.0.1143 as well? If yes, did you get a similar message?

Fernando,

I have been a fan for quite awhile now and besides asking your advice....I wanted to say THANKS for taking the time to keep us informed! It is greatly appreciated!

I have been building my own PC's for years now but I just recently started modding my BIOS's. It has always been frustrating to me how you shell out
$400 for a MOBO and after 6 months they quit updating the support files for it. I have tested a few modded BIOS's that I injected updated ROM & EFI
modules in and have been attempting to match up the best performing ROM/EFI & Driver combo. At, this point, I need some guidance.

I have a ASUS Rampage V Extreme (details below) that I have been experimenting with. The combo I am currently testing is Intel RST(e) OROM/EFI SATA
v14.5.0.2241 and I somehow ended up with the RSTe 4.3.0.1198 drivers mixed in there. I would like to blame Windows 10 when I did a fresh install but, who knows.
I am going to re-wipe it and go with whatever is determined to be the best for my setup.

Although, I am currently not using a RAID array, I probably will design one down the road.

Here is my current hardware configuration and below that, is what I have narrowed down a few possibilities to. Let me know what you think and no worries....
I take constructive criticism well if missed a step some where....lol.

Hi All,

Does anybody know where I can get the modified Intel RST OROM v. 13.1.0.2030 for X79 ?

According to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Matrix_RAID it seems that that version can be injected into that chipset with modification.
However, I can't see that OROM version for X79 in UBU 1.32.1 nor at the following page AHCI & RAID ROM Modules

I am looking for the latest availabe and stable (if any) OROM version 13.x with X79 support for both ACHI & RAID modes, and even a guide about how to modify and inject the OROM would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Thanks Fernando, that's very clear.

I will perform a some tests to see which 13.x.x.xxxx version is the best solution for both available features (TRIM support) and performaces and will post results here as reference.

@Fernando are you able to send me links on what is required to universally TRIM modify a rom?

I'm interested in learning the steps involved, i have had a look at the AnandTech forum and the information seems to be all over the place.

Also, would you have a universally TRIM modified version of Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v14.5.0.2241
I know it doesn't work with older chipsets, just for curiosity/developmental reasons.

Thank you for the information!

Intel Raid Rom (Orom/SataDriver) Version 14.6.0.2285 now out.

I hope to see the Orom BIOS Module and Intel EFI SataDriver on share here soon, especially a EFI SataDriver (without header) that will work with the X99 chipset.
