i had seen those PAD-files. this was reason using MMTool, because UEFITool can't handle PAD-files properly.
luckly...i didn't flash any modded bios.
but please, try the same steps you just have done, with MMTool 5.02....then you will see that inserting FFS-file and saving modded image will run without problem.
why we cann't use MMTool 5.02? is there something specific with MMTool 4.50?
any idea where (in which line or which GUID of bios image) to insert FFS-file when using mmTool 5.02?

@ari2asem:
An AMI MMTool v5.02 doesn't exist.
Meanwhile I have tried to get the NvmExpresDxe_4.ffs module inserted by using the AMI MMTool v5.0.0.7, which has natively been designed for the modification of AptioV BIOSes, but works with AptioIV BIOSes as well (without patching the tool).
The product I got now looks much better than those ones I got with the UEFITool and the MMTool v4.50. I cannot see any pad-file issue. The modded BIOS is attached. You can try to flash it at own risk.

I recommend to use the MMTool v4.50, because this is the only MMTool, which has been designed by the Company AMI for AptioIV BIOSes.

Contrary to the UEFITool you don't have to search for the exact location where to insert the "DXE Driver" module. You only have to type the correct Volume number within the "Vol. Index" box. In case of your specific mainboard BIOS the number of the DXE Volume is "01".

As you can see here, the correct version of that MMTool is 5.2.0.24.

Medion / ECS D3F3-EM2

I can´t flash the modded Bios. The original bios is flashable.
But i can only flash in Windows. The Bios is only uefi without CSM support.

@Shinsaja:
You are not the first user, who cannot flash a modded BIOS by using the way the mainboard manufacturer is offering.
Each mainboard manufacturer has implemented its own security features into the original BIOS to make it as difficult as possible to get a modded BIOS properly flashed.
Solution: You have to find a way to circumvent these restrictions. Please look into the thread I had recently linked.

@Shergar:
Have you already done a look into the start post of >this< thread?

Hello. Yeah, I've checked everything that was written in this post. The only thing I've made not in accordance with recommendation is cloning my clean OS from HDD to SSD instead of a new installation.

But looks like I've found out the reason for slow-speed SDD working. As I see in Samsung Magician my SSD is working through PCIe 2.0 x4 (https://yadi.sk/i/ot_Os1JEwcpgng) interface instead of high-speed PCIe 3.0 x4 which should be integrated in Samsung 970 PRO. I have no clue why is that? Is there any solution for this problem?

Your problem seems to be hardware related and has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
My advice: Contact the ASUS Technical Support.

Great info!
I recently bought a Samsung 970 Evo pro 1T to use as my boot drive in my Asus Maximus IV Extreme only to discover that I cant do it. Now I found this guide and I have renewed hope!

My question is, will I be able to raid the M.2 drive if a buy a PCIe x16 adapter that can hold 2 SSDs?
Is the performance of a PCIE NVME drive superior to the fastest SSD SATA RAID setup?

Thank you!!

@Biggerguy:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
According to my knowledge only modern Intel chipset systems from 100-Series up do support the creation of a bootable Intel RAID array consisting of NVMe SSDs.
