For anyone who wants to play with 2105c, I updated all the R4s with the asmedia 0.951 orom.

Ok so I installed Windows 8 X64 Pro on 2x G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120GB in Raid 0.

Trim is not working with the default windows 8 driver or RSTe 3.2.0.1126.

Works in Raid mode for single SSD but not in Raid 0.


Any Ideas?

I had some issues with this 2105b bios using Windows 7, went back to 1404

ther eis no trim for raid0/c600 yet. intel says they are on it, but it will be a wait. i just did some orom/driver testing this morning. no go, we wait for intel or some clever sole that hacks an orom (i used hacked drivers).

Cheer. m.oreilly may be our new lord of mod bios. Please bring ASUS LAMEPAGE IV EXTREME to RAMPAGE IV EXTREME my lord. 😛

Like what? Was it RST driver issue? Where you using AIDA64? Do tell.

Windows 8 may not able to trim your RAID 0 SSD volumn now. But your RAID 0 volumn perform ultimately with windows 8 driver provide by Microsoft , isn't it? So just wait for Intel release new version of OROM that support RAID 0 TRIM a moment.
Finally, you'll able to optimize your RAID volumn extremely fast. Even not optimize your RAID 0 volumn under Windows 8 it'll extremely fast when your boot and shutdown system than Windows 7 SP1. 😄

Hello

About modded bios and RSTe ROM 3.2, why the ME firmware is not updated?
This is a separate update?

Thanks

I have been having some issues since updating this bios. Problem is it can be a few things. I know when I first installed my OS back with 1404 Bios I had so stability issues with my Crucial M4 drive. I can't even remember what I did to fix it. I get random freezing. Now I'm getting some freezing again with this bios I just can't figure out if its the SSD again or if its the new bios it self. I'm pretty convinced it has nothing to do with the inserted ROM but I'm trying to rule this out. And since no one else has this ROM installed but you guys I looking for help. Last time to get stable I uninstalled the RST and uninstalled some driver in the Device manager I don't remember which one that was now. But it did fix the problem for about 6 weeks now my freezing is slightly different before the freezing was only when opening folders now I get it lock ups when I rearrange programs or just opening web browser or something before it was every 3 hours or so this is more like every 20 hours. Really hard to identify these type of bugs. I have a RAID 0 array for my 😧 drive with two 7200 RPM drives. I know this won't be easy to figure out. I should probably make a thread. Thanks for the bios btw.
