***Unofficial GA-X58A-UD5/UD7* rev 2.0* Discussion Thread

I see. That wasn't what I thought they meant by a 3TB fix.

I am trying to use the Intel RAID bios to run two 3TB drives in RAID 1. I was hoping it was a fix for that ROM. I have been using the awful Gigabyte RAID ports in the meantime, but it's really a pain.

Will using one of the custom ROMs listed earlier in this thread update the Intel RAID BIOS to the point where I can do this? If so, which one should I flash? (My board is a GA-X58A-UD5 rev 1.0).

I would get the latest BIOS they have. I know they released some that helped support the larger Drives.

I am using the latest version, F7J, which claims to support 3TB drives. Unfortunately, what they mean by this is that they have added a utility to create "virtual drives" for 32-bit OSes that can't see the full 3TB of space.

The Intel RAID ROM is still the same old version that can't see more than 746.5 GB of space on my 3TB drives, hence I can't RAID them through the Intel BIOS and have to use the Gigabyte RAID, which is workable, but annoying since I am using the Intel BIOS to RAID my SSDs.
