I'm attaching a modified F12 for your GA-EP45-UD3R rev1.1 with the following updates:

ICH10R southbridge - v13.1.0.2030
8111C ethernet - rtegrom258.lom
SATA2 chip - jmb362_C_1.07.28
AHCI-pchahci_1.20E

System should work with the RST 12 series as well as the latest RST 13.0.0.1072 beta

Is there any chance you could provide a comparable orom update for the rev 1.0 of the GA-EP45-UD3R?

Will this recognise 4TB drives or does each new size need to be added?

Thanks

This bios will recognize the full 4TB.

Thats great will rack them up for my nas. I have already installed the bios and everything is working fine except no hard drives are detected if AHCI is selected. This is not a great hardship for me more important that I can get the size in there. I did a bit of searching and there seems to be some issues with AHCI-pchahci_1.20E. This is not my area so I can't offer any details. I haven't tried the raid setting to see how that works as Im looking at software raid (Openmediavault - softRaid and Raid10). I will test it out when I get my new drives latter in the week just for interest.

Thanks again.

The feedback I'm getting is that AHCI-pchahci_1.20E is not working correctly as you indicated. Check tomorrow. I'll use the stock AHCI-1.20 version that came on my GA-EP45T-USB3P. This one scans the drives at boot and shows them on the screen.

I'm attaching a modified F12 bios' for both GA-EP45-UD3R rev 1.0 and rev1.1 with the following updates:

ICH10R southbridge - v12902006
8111 ethernet - rtegrom259.lom
SATA2 chip - jmb362_C_1.06.78
ICHAACHI 1.2 original from a EP45-USB3P

I downselected the Intel RAID OROM since somefolks were having 13 series issues. Both the jmb362_C_1.06.78 and ICHAACHI 1.2 original bring up a screen at boot and this may help AHCI detection issues

Let us know how it turns out.
