   OK, ASRock has offered to RMA the MB after me owning it for almost 2 years - I can't fault them for that.  In fact that is quite lenient.  

But it looks like I need to send it first - so I would be out of a system for a while.  If that is the case, I am buying a x470 from someone else and selling the new MB.  I cannot be without a main system that long. (Hours is bad, days unlivable, I use this box 10-14 hours a day.)

But hey - updating the BIOS should not impact a working system.   So what if I want to use a new processor in the future, why would that break the one I am using - no wait - it did not break that.  

So right now, I am booting from SSD on SATA 1.  That is working fine, but the performance difference is very noticeable.  I went from seconds to 10s of seconds for everything on the OS disk.

Even if I need to upgrade processors, tell me - that may be an exciting option.  Can we say R7 2700!!!!!

And no response from my query as to fixing the M.2 boot issue.   I will give it another day - but then I am probably back to Asus/MSI as I have had zero issues with several of their products.  Though right now Gigabyte is cheapest with great reviews.  (x470 and WiFi is a must)

For RAID, the disk is set to ACHI (or something like that where the other choice is RAID).  I do have a mirror, but I let Windows take care of that.

I am very disappointed.   This setup has worked damn'd near perfect since the build.  But - updates to the BIOS are critical for a long "use life" and ASRock has failed that measure - so far.
