Hello and first I want to say thank you for the forum! I have been researching Intel RST RAID drivers over the last week and have found this forum a most valuable resource! Lots of very interesting information here.

I was hoping to get some advice on the following. My motherboard is the Supermicro X9SAE with BIOS 2.0 flashed which contains Intel RAID ROM v11.1.0.1413.
There have been 2 newer BIOS released: 2.0a with v11.6.0.170 and 2.0b with v12.5.0.1815
I am planning to use 2x Intel SSD 730 Series 480GB in RAID0 for boot drive in Windows 7 x64 with RST drivers v11.2.0.1006 (based on post here)

I see here that RAID ROM v11.1.0.1413 is a good match for Intel RST RAID driver v11.2.0.1006
My question: Do you think there is enough difference between RAID ROM v11.1.0.1413 and v11.2.0.1527 to risk flashing a modded BIOS?
Also, of the 3 choices (v11.1.0.1413, v11.6.0.170, v12.5.0.1815) do you agree v11.1.0.1413 is the best match for Intel RST RAID driver v11.2.0.1006?

Thank you for your time and again for the forum, it's been a great help!

Wow, thank you for the fast reply! I will stay with current BIOS as I've had no problems in 2.5 years of ownership. I will post some benchmarks when I get the new drives installed :)
