  • GA-Z77X-UD4H F3a Modified BIOS Possible Issue

    I've been running my GA-Z77X-UD4H Motherboard for a couple years without any problems since installing the F3a Modified BIOS. However I recently ran into a problem when I upgraded the drives used in my RAID1 setup connected to the Marvell 88SE91XX GSATA connectors. One of the drives keeps being dropped even though it formats and initializes fine.

    While searching I found multiple posts on Fernando’s Win-RAID Forum that said the 1.0.1.0025 BIOS Update for the Marvell controller (which was included with the F3a Modified BIOS) is actually OLDER than the 1.0.0.0027 BIOS that came with the motherboard. They said it was dated prior to 0027 and concluded the version number was really 1.0.0.0025 and not 1.0.1.0025.

    It reminded me that my original RAID1 was set up under 1.0.0.0027. Yet now I'm having issues setting up the new drives under 1.0.1.0025. Makes me wonder if 1.0.1.0025 really is an older version. Is it possible someone knows about this or could verify which version is newer?

    Thanks
