1. Update Intel Raid Option ROM

Since I am using RAID 10 I flashed to that BIOS. In the BIOS I selected RAID and my raid 10 is detected fine and working. I also installed the latest drivers
Intel Rapid Storage Technology v.10.5.0.1015.

But can anyone please tell me in plain English (clearly) what has been made better in this new BIOS with regards to RAID ? And what is the meaning of "Update Intel Raid Option ROM "
Has something been fixed, added, corrected, improved ??
What's the story, I don't understand ?
The Intel raid option ROM is code supplied by Intel and packed inside the BIOS that is necessary to manage every raid configuration.

As this option ROM has been never updated by Asus since first BIOS, it was very old and causes some issues with SSD.
They decided to update the Intel option ROM with a newer release in BIOS 1208 but unfortunately they broke the compatibility with third party raid controllers.


I hope my english is enough clear even it is not my mother language.
