@JustUser:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

If you want get TRIM support within your future Intel RAID0 array, you will have to do the following:

Replace the Intel RAID ROM module, which is within the original Gigabyte BIOS for your mainboard, by a TRIM in RAID0 modded variant. The easiest and safest way is to let the UBU tool do the work (look >here<). Don't forget to put the desired TRIM modded Intel RAID ROM module into the UBU\Files\intel\RST subfolder and rename it to "RaidOrom.bin" before you start running the ubu.bat file.
Flash the modded BIOS by following the advices given within the start post of >this< thread. After having given the modded BIOS the same name (incl. extension) as the original BIOS, you should be able to flash the BIOS successfully by using the Q-Flash Utility.

Good luck!

@Fernando, @Lost_N_BIOS,

Regarding to your recent post #1289 I have a ASUS Z390 platform with DEV_2822 and running currently Intel RST v17.2.x.xxx driver.
How do you update the BIOS RAID ROM v17.2.0.3790 ?
The motherboard has no Flash Back button and so the only BIOS update method is thru FPT Tool (DOS interface does work) using a BIOS region dump modded via UBU Tool.
But do you recommend to use which UBU tool version ?
and how to adapt/mod the appropriate UBU tool version to offer and force the RAID OROM current detected and the new one RAID ROM offered for a BIOS Region (13 Mo size) file ?
Any potential compatibility problem due to UBU manipulation of a BIOS region (13Mo) instead of a full BIOS file (16Mo)?

Does v17.3.xx branch (driver and RAID ROM) more appropriate for this DEV_2822 ?

ASUS Sabertooth X99/USB 3.1, W10 x64 21H2 NVMe i750, BIOS v4101, CPU Intel i7 5930K, 32GB DDR4, Asus GTX 1660TI 6GB DDR6
ASUS PRIME Z390M-Plus W11 x64 21H2 22000.194 NVMe 970 , BIOS v3004, 16GB DDR4, CPUs: Intel i3-8100 (4 cores) +UHD 630, i5-9400F (6 cores) +GTX 980.

@100PIER:
Lost_N_BIOS knows much more about how to flash a modded BIOS than me. So you should wait for his reply.
Regarding the UBU tool you should better ask @SoniX. By the way: Why do you want to update the Intel RAID ROM module and not the EFI RaidDriver?

The compatibility of the Intel RST RAID drivers and BIOS modules doesn't depend on the externally shown DeviceID, but on the internal DeviceID of the on-board Intel SATA RAID Controller. You can try to check it by using the attached tool, which has been developed and compiled by our Forum member CPL0.

Thanks Fernando.
I do ignore if we can update the both (Intel RAID ROM and EFI RAID driver).
For what reasons do you recommend to update EFI Raid driver first ?

Where did I recommend that?
What I meant is, that users of a modern system usually do not install the OS and boot their system in LEGACY mode. So there would be no need to update the Intel RAID ROM module.

Thanks for answer, but UBU useless for me - for my mb only legacy bios available. But i found some magic named "CBROM" and replace in bios file default raid rom v10.6.0.1091 on "Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v12.9.0.2006 with TRIM in RAID0 support" downloaded from raid rom topic. Now, question is - does it enough, to work propertly or i must update/replace something else in bios file before flashing? Also, not sure in mod rom version, maybe "Intel RST RAID ROM v11.2.0.1527" would be better for so old hardware.

@JustUser:
i didn't know, that your Intel 6-Series mainboard is one of the very few ones without an UEFI BIOS.
I recommend to replace the Intel RAID ROM by the TRIM modified v11.2.0.1527. No other BIOS module has to be touched.

@Fernando,

Thanks, all my W10 PCs are installed in UEFI mode and I do agree to not pay attention to the original Intel RAID ROM module into the original ASUS BIOS as well in any modded BIOS.
So I have to update ,if available and if possible the EFI Raid driver into BIOS.

Thanks for the SATA ID tool by Dufus.
I have tested this tool on Sabertooth Dual SATA controller: the tool does detect only the SATA controller 1 with its DEV_ID and its "alternate" ID.
SATA controller 2 is not detected.

On ASUS PRIME Z390M-Plus PC the SATA controller is not detected by SATA ID tool:

So, how to be sure Intel iRSTe branch 17.3 is more adapted than 17.2 for recent Z390 platforms ?

You will have to find it out yourself by testing both driver versions.

Hello!
After adding the AMD AHCI ROM v3.3.2.0 for DEV_4391 module to "Bios -> Advanced -> SATA Configuration", disk devices are no longer displayed. Everywhere is displayed "Not Present".
Although the system boots and everything works!

How to fix?

@sazan123:
This seems to be an issue of a system BIOS module, but as long as the system boots and everything works fine, that doesn't really matter.
