G752VY-DH72
Didn't really pay much attention to it before I flashed to 208 and honestly didn't perceive any problems and just shut it down after some updates and finishing install of GTAV just to see what I got, 16 seconds from depressing the power button to log in screen then about 2 seconds from login to finished with AV up and all. Im still setting up as i just finished getting the 512GB 950 pro installed about 4 hours ago.
Is it not as fast on the boot? Maybe a few seconds but nothing I would call slow and a problem though.
EDIT
, just rolled it back to 206. 2 seconds to asus logo and 7 seconds to login. Dont know what the 208 Bios is doing to take a few more seconds but I still dont see it as a problem, especially when I compare it to the POS Dell they issused me for work that between the cheap hardware and all the crap and logger they have running on it takes every bit of 5 minutes between pusing the power button and being ready to actually use it.
If you want to roll back there is a trick to it . Winflah wont just let you and making a DOS disk is a PITA. I found this right here in another section, Credit to the OP and I can verify that it does work. Right after you finish the last cmd entry winflash will launch and it will let you roll back to an older version.
All you need to do is have Winflash installed and launch it through Command Prompt, Command Prompt can be found under Start Menu under Accessories
Now in Command Prompt navigate to where you have Winflash installed, for me i just entered " cd C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\WinFlash " with out the ""
Now simply enter "Winflash /nodate" without the ""

The larger 512GB size also has better read and write times over the 256. Raid is not supported on these and honestly I cant see why it would be needed. I would rather have a little overhead then to have it packed too tight. When the OS and all my software is loaded I'm using every bit of 200GB and then some. Once you factor in the boot partition and a little overhead there isnt enough left on a 256GB disk, not for me anyhow.
Im running the 512GB just fine without Samsung NVMe drivers or Samsung magician and getting speeds comparable to the platforms that can load it. NVMe driver is not needed after Win 8.1. If you bought this machine or any other regardless of manufacturer with NVMe SSDs they dont come with magician installed nor do they come with the Samsung NVMe drivers.
Asus is not the only platform that wont allow installation of these. Its new and evolving technology and it will all get worked out in sooner or later. In the mean time Im enjoying exactly what I have that is blowing everything else out of the water.
