Was wondering if any of you guys that were able to successfully mod your bios for nvme could post your Link Speeds according to HWInfo? Kind of curious..

Also @HisretDemir not familiar with that particular setup for the Trident Squad but looked up the specs and it said you have a Sata controller so probably not going to work,
unless there is a free pci-e port available to use (assuming your using your onboard M.2 connector)..

Thanks for the answer.
What i dont understand is how they can sell this on Ebya with NVMe disks?
I dont have any empy PCI-E slots except for the built in M.2 slot.
And I have just tryed to uppdate bios wich MSI Trident 3 Arctic Firmware and put in on my MSI Trident 3 Squad.
And after update bIOS i now have SATA port 4 NVMe Not PResent it says.
It seems that the BIOS is same but with small differents, so i was abble to install the Arctic BIOS on my Squad.

@HisretDemir:
Hello Demir,
welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

According to what I have read >here<, your MSI Trident 3 Squad system has just a "pure" SATA connected M.2 port.
Consequence: A Samsung 960 EVO will not work with the M.2 port of your system, because it uses the NVMe and not the SATA AHCI interface.
If you want to use the on-board M.2 port of your system, you have to insert a SATA connected M.2 SSD like the Samsung 850 EVO SATA M.2 SSD.

@HisretDemir:
The MSI Trident 3 Arctic has a "pure" SATA M.2 port as your "Squad" model, but MSI is offering a Trident 3 model, which has an M.2 port with a SATA/PCIe autoswitch connection (look >here<).

Is that the model you bought? If so I would open up a claim with Amazon. I think you have not told us the whole story here.
You probably bought a lesser model.

This Trident 3 model seems to be the one with the SATA/PCIe autoswitch M.2 port.

Just to let you know I managed to get the drive running win 10.

I couldn't get it to boot with a cloned image of my drive, but it would install windows.

The drive is very rapid 3x my old sata evo's.

Thanks for help. :)

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #2622
Your modded BIOS looks fine and should work, but the fact, that you cannot see a Disk Drive named "PATA SS" within your notebook BIOS, indicates, that the modded BIOS hasn't been successfully flashed.
The BIOS of nearly all modern Mobile Systems is strongly protected by the manufacturer against flashing of a modded BIOS. So it is not easy to circumvent this protection.
Please have a look into the start post and the last posts of >this< thread.

Thanks for the answer! But, unfortunately, this does not help me.
I tried to use AFU modified.rom / P / B / K and got the following response:
Flash reading ............... done
- Checksums FFS ......... ok
Erasing the boot block .......... done
Updating the boot block ......... done
Checking the boot block ........ done
Erasing the main unit .......... done
Updating the main unit ......... done
Checking the main unit ........ done
Deleting an NCB block ...........
Updating the NCB block .......... done
Checking the NCB block ......... done

I also tried the GAN command, but it does not seem to work in afudos v5 (afudos v3 does not work with my aptio 5, it shows the "use afudos v5" error)

As I said in my first message, I used BCP to unlock bios, and after applying the modified file I see some new parameters in the BIOS, but this does not help to solve the main problem with ssd = (
Tell me, please, what else should I try?
I already want to sell this stupid asus and buy HP or MSI, maybe with normal NVME support ...

@Mark_rus:
Your problem has much more to do with the topic of >this< thread than with the procedure how to integrate an NVMe EFI module into an UEFI BIOS.
Please read the guide written by CodeRush and additionally have a look into >this< and >this< post. If you should have questions regarding the BIOS flashing procedure by using an AFU tool, you should better ask them within the linked thread.

Can anyone verify that I've done the module insertion correctly for the bios file for an ASUS Z87 Pro Mobo? I've attached the modified file and everything appears to be correct but I'm concerned about the random chinese characters that are showing up in the text fields. Do they indicate some kind of issue or is everything alright?

Thank you.

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

I have done a look into the attached BIOS and for me everything seems to be alright.
Good luck!
