I wanted to pass along a warning to anyone who may be considering the latest bios update to version 1309. I'm currently in the middle of trying to rebuild my main operating system partition after flashing to 1309.
I'm booting into Windows 7 64-bit on 2 Crucial m4 ssd's set up in as raid1 on the 2 Intel sata ports onboard. When you flash to 1309 it pretty much resets everything in the bios to the default settings, one of which turns off the onboard raid. No problem I thought, just go in a change it back. It seemed simple enough until Windows tried to boot, at which point I kept getting errors across the board from missing BCD boot files, to page fault BSODs, and on and on.
To make a long story short, the 1309 bios does not appear to like the sata ports in RAID mode; AHCI seems ok. For reference, I was previously running version 0704 without any issues whatsoever.
I'll post more info on my progress as it comes up, but I've already switched over to the other onboard (earlier) bios and am still trying to rebuild.
