yes, i understand. the point is i have absolutely no idea how to "link" the nvme mod to the bios.

Ismail did know how to do it. I dont. And.... well, unless someone reading this message knows and can teach us, that s it.

changing the drive id is easy, it s a simple hex patch. but i have no clue on how to make a mod recognized and "active" in an existing bios, i lack the knowledge. The OP knew but real life matters (earthquake) made it so he couldnt continue the job.

I know there is another forum, where "Fernando" was posting modded bios for Raid / Intel Sata matters, where people do patch UEFI bios for nvme support. Maybe you can ask there so someone explains you how to do it, or maybe, will do it. But here..... no one is that much specialized.

goodluck
You can use mmtool or cbrom mod your bios.
It is not only easy to use but also alot of fun.

wow. way too expensive for just 1TB.

that s 300€. Switched Adapters cost 130 to 180€. I wish i could find under 100€

hello chuckbam

you are missing a step. those Bios have some references of most popular drives, but not all (way too many)
so you ll need to have fun as stated 2 posts ago, and follow Catup's guide (cf signature)

you ll need basically :

to identify the reference of the drive (Hex codes through device manager)
extract one of the mod
patch the hexa values with an editor
repack the mod

Catup did a fine guide, if you get lost, ask, we'll be there to help

yuhdiing :

it sounds easy but something holds me back concerning modifying a bios in blind mode (without having the hardware to test it), it s a question of responsability for the person who might brick their motherboard if i screwed up.

but if you have a few links to explain things, i'm all in. I thought it was more than "just adding the mod" to the bios and that some deeper modification of the base bios was needed, but in fact i dont really know. so if you have some links to share, go on, i'm interested, many others will be too.

Thanks for the reply,
I am not going to do any repack mod.
So it is the model of my drive? Could I just use a different NVMe drive? I could buy a different drive one day.
If so, any suggestions on a new drive that will work with this bios as it is?
I am happy I put it in. Even if it will not be used as a boot drive. That 600P drive has been in a drawer a year or so.

Hello,
I cannot answer this question, i have no asus motherboard and limited knowledge concerning mmtool. you will have to dig in the bios to get this answer.

edit : the bios is listed as tested, so it means someone did flash successfully and did post in this forum that it worked. usually people said which drive they used for testing. this must be found early pages.

Looking at the first page, one day, I may try a Samsung Evo 970 Plus NVMe MZVLB500HBJQ MZ-V7S500. I think I have one in a different system.

acting without precautions will not lead to good results, just loss of time, the same time you can not spend to check before, you will lose it doing something that will not work.

but i understand, when you dont have enough time, you cant magically create some.

goodluck
