I used SataDriver 12.6.0.1867 with 12.6.0.1033 drivers. However, now I'm running 12.7.0.1910 SataDriver (which I patched myself) with 12.6.0.1033 drivers, no OROM and everything is still working OK. I went back and took the Vertex 3 MAX IOPS out of RAID0, and tried trimcheck on it, but it...

So, it seems my earlier thoughts about Z68, EFI and TRIM were slightly incorrect. I recently upgraded to 2x Samsung 840 PRO 256GB and did a fresh install of Windows 8 EFI. Still using an ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE TRIM works with EFI SataDriver! HOWEVER only if I remove the BIOS OPROM from CSMCORE...

I also tried compressed form but no go. While I understand it works with BIOSes that already have the SataDriver inserted, adding it yourself doesn't seem to work straight off the bat. Something is missing I think. Now that garikfox has updated the Z68 with inserted SataDriver, I'll keep an eye...

The driver I have isn't compressed. It's uncompressed....and all the strings are visible. If it were compressed, I'm pretty sure you couldn't edit the device IDs without decompressing it first? I don't think it matters whether you insert the module as compressed, as long as it fits with the 8MB...

It does, but it is full of drives in RAID5. Nevertheless, I rebuilt the array with 12.5 RST PCI OPROM, then reflashed the BIOS with just the inserted 12.5 SataDriver (patched for Z68) and removed the PCI OPROM. TRIM still does not passthrough with Windows 8 EFI (with RST 12.0 driver) :(

Additionally, I've noticed that adding the EFI SataDriver module seems to mess with CD drives attached to the controller. While the SataDriver was present, my DVD drive had trouble reading disks. UEFI booting Windows 8 from CD would hang with a black screen and attempting to load EzFlash2 while...

Thanks for the reply! I worked out the checksum thing shortly after my original post. But thanks for the double clarification :) I inserted the SataDriver using MMTool. I simply selected the "Insert" tab, chose the modded SataDriver and added it with the same "Vol. Index" as CSMCORE (01 in my...

Ahhhhhh. I ended up getting a modded SataDriver inserted. I wrote a script that recalculates the EFI FFS Checksum. MMTool accepted the file and the modded SataDriver shows up the BIOS menu. Unfortunately, even though I have the modded SataDriver 12.0 and RST (in Windows) reports 12.0 OpROM...

Fernando, Could you briefly outline how you are able to circumvent the integrity checks on the SataDriver EFI module? And what process you use to patch and replace the SataDriver? I have been reading up thoroughly on both yours and Dufus' information about RST and have been trying to get TRIM...
