Is done!!!, successfully updated with the modded bios, without any problem . As soon the computer boot up I ordered at amazon a brand new Samsung 960evo 250gb, with an Asus adapter (Asus Accessory Hyper M.2 X4 Mini Card M.2 to 32Gbit/s with PCIE slot), is there any other thing that I must know about the instalation? I just assume that this M2 with all that powerfull read and write speeds doesn't take bandwidth from the graphic card bus or lane right? Dont kill me if this sounds like a stupid question!! hahahha I dont have any idea about this just asking to make sure that the card can be installed in any of those slots without losing performance in pcie 2.0 range.!!

HI @Fernando,
Ok, I finally had the courage to perform this update with your recommendation for NVME support included !! (Z97XG5.F7)
WOW !!!! !!!!!

Allow me to add. The feeling I get is almost the same as when we watch Helene Fischer in her concerts.
unbeschreiblich !!, tolle !!! beautiful
The bios now picks up the 960 EVO drive sitting on the PCIe adaptor card. Which means I can nwo boot macOS Sierra of this drive (10.12.5)

Vielen Dank !!!
Haben Sie eine super Tage!!
Regards

@Fernando
You are my savior! Great work man, really appreciate it.

I just completed the installation of my new Evo 960 but I am getting some bad numbers and I am not sure what's causing this. Ironically, my sata SSD is giving better benchmarks at this point.
Any advice is welcome.

Edit: I swapped PCI slots and now the Reads are much better but the Writes are still down there.
Edit 2 : Checked both Polices on driver's properties. All good now!! You are da best!

Hello,

I just want to thank to everyone involved in making possible adding support to older UEFI chipsets.
It took me a few hours, but managed to get my Samsung 960 EVO working on a Asus Maximus V Formula with Z77 chipset.
The really hard part was trying to flash the modded firmware. Since I was getting a security error, I was only able to flash the .CAP file using the USB BIOS Flashback functionality.

Again, thank you all who made this possible.

Hi!
I've got an Intel Core i7-4970X on a X79 Asrock Extreme6 Mainboard.
And I have a Samsung 960 EVO 1TB nvme ssd connected through angelbird wings t1.
I cannot boot from it, last bios is from 2014.

I did your manual - thank you very much for that!
I downloaded my bios, added the module and flahsed it on my mobo, thanks again, that manual was awesome!

But when I tried install windows10 i got an error:


I don't really have an idea what to do now, anyone can help me please?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate your answers!

Hi, I've seen recently a good deal for a Intel 750 but it's the u.2 version, I'd like to know if there would be any problem in using it with an adapter to Pcie instead of a m.2? My motherboard it's an Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe.

Thanks.

I suspect, that you haven't disabled "Secure Boot" within the BIOS.

Don't forget to turn on UEFI mode.
If you have enabled CSM, make sure that Storage Boot OpROM is set to UEFI only.

Just a quick report.. I just followed the guide and got an Samsung 960 EVO 500GB (via asus hyper m.2 x4 mini adapter) running on my 10 year old Core 2 Quad on an Asus P5Q Deluxe Intel P45 chipset motherboard, using a BETA UEFI bios update that Asus released back in the day...
Unfortunately it works only on the PCIe 4x 1st Gen, so max speed it's about ~800MBPS seq reads... Somehow when I connect it to the PCIe 2nd Gen slot, the uefi recognizes and shows the "Windows Boot Manger" but then it hangs when selected.. Maybe I want too much from my 10yo hardware haha, still good enough that I can boot directly from the NVMe drive.
