Hello, is there a way to get a newer option rom than 10.1 on that mainboard?
I tried to remove some (in my opinion unneded things) from the rom with MMTOOL but it still doesn’t work.
i have 3 3TB WD HDD’s and a modded BIOS with 10.1. But the Option rom doesnt recognise the HDD’s to make a raid volume. In RST Software they are shown properly but there i also can’t create a raid volume. when i connect other hdd’s(in my test 3 500GB Hdd’s) i can create a raid volume.
i tried to mod the bios with a newer version. then he recognizes the 3TB disks in O Rom but hangs after it.
or is there a way to get it on ver 10.1?
greetings,
Remedin
Hello Remedin,
welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
AFAIK the only way is to ask ASUS for a new BIOS with more space for Option ROM modules.

Hello,
thanks for your answer.
is it normal that the Version 10.1 doesn’t support raid with 3 TB Drives?`
did some funy test and it seems to work:
when the newer version was on BIOS i was able to create the raid in the option rom.
then i flashed back the working bios version with v 10.1
the raid still exists and seems to work.
it’s just initalizing at the moment
but that can’t be the right way
Yes, only Intel RAID ROM versions from 10.5 up do support >2 TB sized HDDs.
