It's big, fast and black and has tweaking written all over it.

Earlier Windows Operating Systems may not be installable onto such SSD.ASUS recently released an update to their Rampage IV series motherboards with a black edition. Users, who are want to install Win10 onto such M.2/PCIe connected SSD running in AHCI mode, do not need to load any special AHCI driver.Ģ. their AHCI Controller, is the Win10 in-box AHCI driver.ġ. The only driver, which supports M.2/PCIe connected SSDs resp. Inserting driver in BIOS must help with that, so… maybe it needs simply a different driver : >Here< is the related guide with download links to the required EFI module. In case of an SSD, which uses the AHCI protocol, the user has to insert into the BIOS an EFI module, which supports the AHCI protocol. If the mainboard BIOS natively doesn’t support M.2/PCIe connected SSDs, theuser has to insert the missing EFI module, which supports booting off a M.2/PCIe connected SSD. I know it’s AHCI, my problem is with plugging it into M.2 “M-key” slot.ĭoesn’t that mean it needs PCI-e boot capable board/BIOS (x79 isn’t known for best comaptibility in that regard) ? I was confidant I had modified the bios (following the guide you linked) correctly and wanted to check if the hardware matched, then I could re-visit modding the bios (to see if I am using the wrong mod or where I was going wrong?) and post there. Why did you start a new thread instead of posting into >this< already existing one (with a guide about how to do it)? This indicates, you you have done a mistake either while modifying the BIOS or while trying to flash the BIOS Tried modding the latest 0801 bios… via Flash back, Black screen (auto reverted back to original working 0801) Within bios (all pages it may appear) and OS (Win 10 Disk management).

How did you verify, that your M.2 drive has not been detected? I put a link in to the message for the WD WDS100T1B0B 1 TB 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive – Blue.ĭoes your BIOS or your currently running OS (or both) not detect the NVMe SSD?īoth do not detect the SSD, But i’m not sure if it is strictly a NVMe or M.2 SATA (or if this makes a difference?). Sorry if my English is confusing… To put it another way, I am exhausted trying to get my Mother Board to recognize M.2 drive (in the bios or OS). Well totally stumped… Cant get MB to recognize M.2 drive at all.
